This photo depicts two warplanes, possibly Avro Ansons, flying over High Street in Conwy during the 1940s. The next photo is from @homefrontmuseum.bsky.social book that mentions the event. Fascinating stuff - and I highly recommend their books.

107 years ago today, the SS Apapa was torpedoed by a German submarine off Anglesey. In the following days, the bodies of some of the crew were washed up on beaches along the North Wales coast. Two bodies washed up at Rhos-on-Sea and buried in a joint grave at Bron-y-nant Cemetery in Colwyn Bay.

An afternoon at the Great Orme cemetery tidying up the 36 @cwgc.bsky.social war graves in readiness for winter. Quartermaster Serjeant Edward James was run over by a Silver Motors Company bus. He served with the Royal Engineers and was attached to the Training Centre established at Deganwy in 1915.

Perhaps the most famous headstone at the Great Orme cemetery is the marble ‘Winged Wheel’ of Beatrice Blore Browne who died 103 years ago today. But what was Beatrice’s story?https://www.facebook.com/homefrontmuseum/posts/pfbid08KxwMMhQgAPGsfs5gRVZiEPh43RZ27Yme7iPq4tYp419tdF63z4inBKEqk4sxYdcl
