Remembering the 266 who went to work at Gresford Colliery on this day in 1934 but never came home. Amongst them were 27 of our Broughton men and boys. We must never forget.

It’s #InternationalCatDay! Our furry friends can be a sensitive subject… in 1935 Mr Herratt lost ‘Tibby’, a cat belonging to Mrs Price of Rhyl. As compensation, she wanted £3 to purchase ‘a pet of her liking’ (more than £200 today) but Mr Herratt thought the sum ‘excessive’!
