Willy Llewellyn's Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

I'm not sure why this refers to Michael Hewitt. I cannot find any reference to this name. The photo is of the memorial to Willie Llewellyn, which is in this area. Details here daibach-welldigger.blogspot.com/2020/08/the-little-lost-boys-2-willie-llewellyn.html and geograph.org.uk/photo/6234044
