Pages from Llanllechid National School Admission Register, 1901-03 [front cover, image 1 of 5]
Description
The following pages have been selected from the Llanllechid National School Admission Register during the years of the great Penrhyn Quarry dispute of 1901-03. It is seen that a number of children left the area during this period as their families went in search of employment in south Wales. The Register also shows that the children were embroiled in the tensions and divisions which had become evident within the local community during the strike. A number of children were withdrawn from the school by their parents who were unwilling for them to mix with the children of the strike-breakers ('cynffonwrs'), and were sent to the local British School instead.
