The stand taken by the Beasleys, more than anything, was the spark that began the modern language movement and provided the rights that we have today as a result. Unfortunately, the cottage in Llangennech, which was at the centre of all of this, stands empty today, as it was on that day when the bailiffs took the Beasleys' furniture away in response to their refusal to pay rates. Is there an opportunity here for us to be creative and to create a living memorial to the Beasleys and their role in the history of our language, but also a centre that would immerse young people and adults in the Welsh language and in the broader culture of Wales?

And looking at the bigger picture, the west Wales Valleys, where we are both from—and we're very grateful for the additional funding that's being invested in developing the language in this area—is there an opportunity to develop a residential Urdd centre in that area? We have a residential centre in rural Wales and here in the city; is there an opportunity for us to celebrate the unique contribution of the western Valleys to the story and the future of the Welsh language by creating a centre there too?
