Listen "SideStreets S2E9 - St Margaret's Belgians"
Episode Synopsis
In 1914 and 1915, thousands of Belgian refugees descended on East Twickenham, many to work in the great munitions factory by Richmond Bridge. They had their own shops, schools, choir, orchestra, theatre groups, even a brothel. By 1920 they were all gone. This episode tells the story of this brief, strange moment in the history of leafy Richmond.---Support us on Patreon - patreon.com/user?u=84135705Visit Our Website - https://www.sidestreets.co.uk/
