The Battle of Butlin's: Vulgarity and Virtue on the North Wales Coast, 1939–49
At the outbreak of the Second World War the holiday camp entrepreneur Billy Butlin agreed a secret deal to build an Admiralty training camp near Pwllheli in North Wales. The camp would be transferred to Butlin at the end of the war for use as a holiday camp. Whilst planners were initially horrified, the strategic argument that such camps would concentrate coastal development and also provide the necessary places for the expansion of ‘holidays wit…
Unruly topographies: Unemployment, citizenship and land settlement in inter‐war Wales
Between 1934 and 1939, over 5000 people, mainly ex‐miners and their families, were settled in government‐owned land settlements in England and Wales.

Visitors, who are often not Welsh, are…

Back to the Land: Historiography, Rurality and the Nation in Interwar Wales
This paper presents an explanation of the appeal of the rural in interwar Wales and the emergence of 'back to the land' tendencies. The context is the fluid and contested understanding of the nation and of national identity. The 'moral topography' of academics at Aberystwyth, most notably the geographer H J Fleure, is outlined. A view of rural society as essentially stable and spiritually virtuous emerges from this work. The development of such i…
