Y Rhwyd

Information

This Welsh language pamphlet 'Y Rhwyd’ (‘The Net’), was published by the Bethel Welsh Church, Heathfield Road, Liverpool, L15 in 2015. In the 19th and early 20th centuries Liverpool was home to a large Welsh community whose influence and legacy remain in the city today. The community, which numbered around 70,000 by the end of the 1800s, built over 90 places of worship. Many of Liverpool’s street names also reflect the Welsh people that built them with names such as Rhiwlas Street and Madryn Street, birthplace of The Beatle’s drummer Ringo Starr.
