Tell me about Cardiff

[cyrano]

Can 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.)

Alas, that's just the online home for a table top campaign. And I really hope it turns out to be fun.
You're going to keep me busy. (:

Wicked - hope it's incredibly fab and likewise groovy! :)

Also another link, which I'm enjoying at the moment: http://www.cardiffians.co.uk/timeline.html

Even has mysterious disappearances and stuff in it...

I don't know if you've had a look at torchwood_1920 yet, but if you stop by I welcome your comments there. (:

Ello!

Spent a fair amount of the Saturday before last searching through books and maps in the Local section of the local big bookstore in central Cardiff (it turns out the Library has moved - the building being demolished - and my dad doesn't know where it went...), and found:

{le sigh} Lots of (overpriced) books of photos of Old Cardiff (and plenty of the era you were after), but no maps of the era. The closest I found was these ones:

and

http://www.cassinimaps.co.uk/shop/product.asp?P_ID=622

Neither of which, on close-up, real life inspection in the shop (whence I got the main URL) seemed to give proper streetmap-level detail. They were pretty and all, but I didn't feel confident enough that they were going to be useful to you.

I'll keep searching in the meantime, but that's the closest I've got so far (apart from the Government site I mentioned before).

I'll go look at torchwood_1920 now... :)
