Following the devastating bombing of Guernica in 1937, there was such outrage in Britain that the Government reluctantly agreed to allow one boatload of refugee children and their accompanying adults to enter the country.
This guest exhibition from BCA’37 UK, the Association for the UK Basque Children, tells the story of the children who came to colonies in Manchester, Salford, Bolton and other cities in the North West.
