Dickdioxide Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 There used to be a religious meeting permanently advertised on the wall on the left of the Oval Hall in the seventies. Up until the redevelopment of Greenland Road in the early eighties there was a small Welsh speaking around there. Both of these would be related to events after the Great War. About this time there was a religious revival amongst the Welsh as well the popular but waning tradition of visiting preachers/ choirs and 'cymanfa ganu'. The establishment of non-conformity in Wales spurred many preachers to move to the fast growing industrial cities of the Midlands and Lancashire where there was competition for the poors' soul. "Dewch Yn Lluoedd Gymry !" or Come in your droves you Welsh sounds like a call from a non-conformist group to an event. Where -? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
