Searching for something else, Brazil's, a firm of pie makers I remember from when I was a boy , I found this site:

There is some interesting stuff there, even badges and medals:

When I first moved to South Cheshire in the 1980`s there was already a long established Polish Social Club in Crewe serving the Polish Community the members of which I presume had been previously been housed at Doddington.

( Doddington Hall was one of the homes of the Delves Broughton family and in fact the opening sequence of the film "White Mischief " was, I believe, shot outside Doddington Hall )

I seem to recall that there was some sort of Polish Military Organisation based in Manchester but I cannot remember the details I have over the years acquired some interesting Polish military items locally.

There is now a large Polish community in Crewe but a lot are newcomers to the UK.

Same here in Trowbridge with the Keevil Camp close by and now more likely to hear Polish spoken in the town than English.

When I first joined the Army cadet Force in the town we had a Polish speaking Instructor to help with the Polish Cadets but most spoke better English than the locals.
