Scouse evacuees make return trip to North Wales

A small group of Liverpool residents who were evacuated to the Clwydian Range during the World War will take a special trip down memory lane, as part of a programme of activities to celebrate links between the city and Denbighshire.

Staff of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty have arranged for one Denbighshire resident to be reunited with the Liverpool girl who was evacuated to the family home near Ruthin.

The evacuees will also be given a tour of the area, with stops arranged at the villages and schools where they were evacuated, including Ysgol Pentrecelyn.

This event builds on the previous activities arranged to coincide with Liverpool being the European City of Culture, as well as the recent publication of the Liverpool to Loggerheads book by the AONB and Lorna Jenner.

Other events include former Colomendy pupils taking a trip up Moel Famau on Saturday, October 3, and a community writer will be encouraging people to write their own stories about their earlier visits to Loggerheads at Loggerheads Country Park on Sunday, October 4.
