Heritage Collection expands to North Wales

By Laura Davis on Oct 30, 08 08:00 AM

wales-1.jpgTHE Daily Post & Echo has produced a glossy collection of photographs from its archive, North Wales: They Way We Were.

I've picked out the ones that might ring a few bells with people from Liverpool - of childhood holidays to the beach or trips on a steam train.

You can buy the publication for £3.99 from newsagents or online by clicking here, where you can also purchase any of the featured photographs.

This week I'll be interviewing some people who were evacuated to North Wales during the Second World War for a feature in Saturday's Daily Post. I'll post a link on this blog as soon as it appears on the Daily Post website.

In the meantime, it would be great if you would share any of your own memories in the comments section below.
