Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Welcome to Ilwaco, Wash. , the charming coastal village that most tourists pass by on their way to the miles-long stretches of sand off Long Beach. It’s home to some seafood-driven spots that offer incredible views, the same vistas Lewis and Clark and crew looked out on when finally making their way to the Pacific.

(Photo via Wikimedia Commons) On Thursday a blue plaque was mounted on a nondescript building in Hackney. 26 King Edwards Road, was the address – Ayahs’ Home – where abandoned ayahs primarily from India (and also China and Ceylon) were provided accommodation. For long consigned just about to the footnotes of history, the blue plaque, which commemorates the significance of a building because of its linkage with personalities or events, has now given an impetus to explore and investigate in greater detail the lives of the ayahs.
