Plans have now been submitted to redevelop an entire village in North Wales.
Penrhos Polish Village in Pwllheli was founded in 1949 by the Polish Housing Society Ltd. It housed exiled Polish airmen and soldiers who remained in the UK following World War Two.
There were around 100 exiled airmen, soldiers and sailors living there and they established a Polish-speaking community on the former RAF Penrhos base, which soon grew in numbers.
