@ystadaucymru.bsky.social one for your graduates?
@archpbu.bsky.social contains such a wide collection. Not only a significant collection of Estates papers that underpin @ystadaucymru.bsky.social , but also this fascinating guide booklet to Munich during the 1930s... @bangorhistory.bsky.social
'Nefyn beef' was so central, it made the flag. Fascinating!
Really pleased my 2022 article on the Ilford North byelection has appeared alongside some excellent scholarship on UK parliamentary byelctions in @parlhistjournal.bsky.social #BangorPolitics
Showoff :P
Fantastic event to celebrate the Menai Bridge's bicentenary on Saturday 31 January. Speakers from @bangorhistory.bsky.social @bangoruniversity.bsky.social @sosbangor.bsky.social and #menaiheritage gave some wonderful talks to a packed Lecture theatre. Thanks all for supporting
Indeed, in agreement there. A lot of work has been excellent also :)
Sounds about right @cathfeely.bsky.social - Just happened to me also!
Looking forward to delivering the next #ShanklandLecture on Wednesday 21 January at @storielbangor.bsky.social on Bangor's twinning with Soest, NordRhine-Westfalen @archpbu.bsky.social @bangorhistory.bsky.social #BangorPolitics
A really interesting post about 'crossing the floor'

If you teach on undergraduate history courses, please spread the word. Small sums can often make a huge difference.
Really enjoyed writing this reflection on the Ilford North contest, which has been considered an important 'stepping-stone' to the 1979 victory. I argue here that the by-election was simply a return to the Conservative column of a formerly safe seat. Read more here:

Yr hyn y gallai isetholiad Caerffili ei ddatgelu am #Reform, #Llafur a dyfodol gwleidyddiaeth Cymru – darllenwch flog diweddaraf cyd-gyfarwyddwr WISERD, Robin Mann, a @marccollinson.bsky.social @prifysgolbangor.bsky.social @uk.theconversation.com: bit.ly/3J0C0fX @bangorhistory.bsky.social
Caerphilly Castle
What the #Caerphilly byelection could reveal about #Reform, #Labour and Wales’ political future – read the latest blog post by WISERD co-director, Robin Mann and @marccollinson.bsky.social from @bangoruniversity.bsky.social on @uk.theconversation.com: bit.ly/4otCRVg @bangorhistory.bsky.social
There's no pretending that Reform didn't do well - look how steep that line is! BUT the fact it didn't *win* is still important because it impacts on the media's "unstoppable momentum" narrative. Think back to Runcorn and Helsby, when it did beat Labour, albeit by just six votes. A different story.
Voters in Caerphilly are heading to polls today for only the 5th (& most likely final before Senedd reform) by-election for a Senedd constituency since 1999.
Given the media interest, it’ll be intriguing
to see whether turnout is above the previous by-election record of
49.6% Bl Gwent in 2006)
Indeed. We will have to see if the recent poll will lead to a further movement.
Hi Daryl, no, it was welcomed. Yes, the turnout aspect will be interesting, as will the meaning applied to it by commentators! If voting is even lower than before, who didn't vote. Lot of food for thought.
Hi Daryl, I agree with you there. I take your point on postindustrial, but in a Conversation piece, there are few other words in town. Also, the stay at home element is important. Intrigued how that will compare to the polling. The weather may also determine! It's a lovely valley, great picture!
Great to see Robin Mann and my new article published via the Conservation about next week's Caerphilly byelection and the impact of political history and changing sociological trends @bangorhistory.bsky.social @prifysgolbangor.bsky.social #BangorPolitics

A great resource for those interested in understanding how a politicians background might influence their actions. RIP.
A worthwhile read ahead from Ben Jackson. An apparent historical pattern is not necessarily an accurate prediction...
If something like this plays out next Thursday, it will be quite a result. However, it will be interesting to see if this changes over the next week. #Caerphilly #Byelection
Yesterday we displayed items from the Elsi Eldridge (wife of the poet RS Thomas) collection to members of the Contemporary Art Society for Wales with a talk by Prof Tony Brown about the artist.
