Very sad news. Peter’s passing is a significant loss for the areas of Welsh history and culture - having made a huge contribution to both.

We are saddened to hear of the death of Peter Stead, modern historian, author, and editor of a number of important books on Wales in the twentieth century.

Very much looking forward to this. Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dylan Thomas - a great combination I’m reading the memoir of Anthony Hopkins at the moment - another wave on the incredible flow of virtuoso actors that have come from the small town of Port Talbot. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Another one for the ‘random Swans stuff’ box, next to the 2021 play-off face mask 😂 - surreal.
