On the Post this week, we have the Davies sisters, Gwendoline (1882-1951) and Margaret (1884-1963). Granddaughters of industrialist David Davies (1818-1890) who made a fortune in iron and railways, they had "money and a social conscience," and were conscious that they owed their wealth to ordinary Welsh workers.
