Millisle
Millisle or Mill Isle is a village on the Ards Peninsula in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is about south of Donaghadee. It is situated in the townlands of Ballymacruise and Ballycopeland, the civil parish of Donaghadee and the historic barony of Ards Lower.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Place Names NI )〕 It has been described as an "unpretentious bucket-and-spade resort of fish-and-chip shops and acres of caravan sites". It had a population of 2,318 people in the 2011 Census. ==History== As Nazism ascended in mainland Europe, the British Jewish Refugee Committee organised Kindertransport with the help of the British government. Around ten thousand unaccompanied children, aged between three and seventeen from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia, were permitted entry into Britain without visas. Some of these children were sent to Northern Ireland. Many were looked after by foster parents but others went to a farm on the Woburn Road, owned by the Magill family, which took refugees from May 1938 until its closure in 1948.
