Harry Davies (socialist)

Henry Davies (1888 – 1927) was a Welsh socialist politician and trade unionist.

He was elected to serve on the National Administrative Committee of the ILP, as the representative of its Welsh Division, from 1910 until 1912, and again from 1925.

[1] In political matters, Davies worked closely with Tal Mainwaring, often giving public speeches on socialism together.

He was noted as the more impassioned speaker, and his political knowledge was broad; on returning home from work, he was known to dip his hands in cold water in order to wake himself up sufficiently that he could read.

[2] He died in 1927, and a memorial hall was erected, as the headquarters of the Taibach Labour Group.
