cyranoCan anybody tell me about the state of immigration in Britain (specifically Wales) in post WWI?
It looks like the Pakistani immigration didn't really get big until the 1950s, but I don't see anything about Caribbean or Indian or African immigration. (Or possibly Irish immigration, I don't know. I'm a bad history major.)

Cyncoed, where my folks still live, is north-central, and used to be the Old Money, back in the day (1920s/ 30s). It was also a predominantly Jewish area (we had menulkahs on all the doors of our house in particular - almost as if the previous owners were really, really scared of something getting in...).
I'm guessing that Cyncoed, Radyr and Llandaf would have been pretty genteel (or, at least, rich) in 1920, but then when you start getting into the villages and vallyers beyond... less so...
