Someone's had a great idea and plonked a site cabin in St Anne's Square and inside are posters telling the stories of a handful of refugees. Since seeing the excellent Beatbox lad from Damascus (oldest city on the planet) on Market Street in a skeleton tracksuit I've thought wow, must be some amazing stories out there.
