These copies of Welsh community newsletter, 'Yr Angor’ (The Anchor) were published in 2014. The newsletter aims to link people and to share news and views of Welsh life on Merseyside and in Manchester. 

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.
