  • The following newspaper cuttings refer to a dispute which arose at Llanddwyn, Anglesey, in 1938 regarding the alleged right of the public to have access to Llanddwyn Island. The dispute arose as a result of the decision of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) to prevent members of the public from gaining access to land on the island. At the same time, discussions had been taking place regarding the need to build a new access road to the Island from Newborough to boost tourism in the area. As the press reports show, local residents became incensed with the actions of the RSPB and organised a mass demonstration on August Bank Holiday. Over a thousand people took part in the arduous four-mile trek from Newborough to the Island. This page features a letter entitled 'The Future of Llanddwyn', by Margaret Evans, Hillingdon, Middlesex, which appeared in the 'North Wales Chronicle', 20 May 1938.
