| Administrative History | This committee was established c.1914/1915 to provide a home for a family of Belgian refugees. The Stanley Kilburn Colliery Co, allowed the use of a cottage rent free at Stanley Brickyard. A weekly subscription in the parish provided an income, until the refugees became self supporting by following their trade.
The Burgos and Tuerlinckx families arrived in Dec 1914 and left in 1917 and 1919. |
