Communications in Anglesey – conduits for social change

Day School: 
8.30 am - 5.15 pm, Saturday, 11 February, 2006 
Hen Goleg, University of Wales Bangor

Two years ago the theme of the Day School was maritime Anglesey. This time, the focus is on communications on land. The study day aims not only to impart information, but to stimulate discussion and research. Some of the lectures will guide the participants to research tools such as maps and place-names. Others will raise awareness of the social impact of communication routes.
There will be time for questions and discussion
