Flintshire Remembers
About us
A project to remember West Flintshire's First World War contribution received a £9,500 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund’s First World War Then and Now programme.
The project was a partnership of Holywell and District Royal British Legion, Flint and Holywell Rotary Club, Change in Culture Projects, Holywell Town Council and schools; Maes Y Felin, St. Winefride’s, Maesglas and Treffynnon.
School students and volunteers carried out research about soldier’s names on the Holywell Roll of Honour and the Greenfield Memorial and visited Caernarfon Castle Regimental Museum. Students also visited Birkenhead Park, where Welsh First World War poet, Hedd Wyn, was posthumously awarded the 1917 Eisteddfod Bardic Chair and the Wilfred Owen Story, on Argyle Street, in Birkenhead.
A commemorative event was held on Remembrance Sunday on 11 November 2018 for the local community to attend. A special commemorative 24-page programme was created for the event and shared on the day with members of the public. We have a website: www.flintshireremembers.com that holds information on the project. An evaluation report has also been produced which shares all of the activities and people involved in the project.
