Fascinating stories of Second World War evacuation revealed at the places where they happened. Including Conwy County
The start of the Second World War 80 years ago triggered a mass relocation of people and organisations to Wales.
Now, evacuation stories are being revealed on the sites where they happened
Residents and visitors can discover fascinating wartime facts by using their mobile phones (or computers )
The HistoryPoints project has installed special QR codes at 40 locations across Wales.
The codes can be scanned by a smartphone revealing a web page explaining the wartime history of each place.
I came across this sight when I found the "Airship repair article llandudno" and did not realise there was more to it, seems interesting with plenty of links to delve through. http://www.threetownsforum.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,3283.0.html (http://www.threetownsforum.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,3283.0.html)
