Vanished Wales a talk with Carwyn Jones
£3.00
Join us at the Castle Hotel, Llandovery at 7.00pm on Friday October 17th for a talk by television producer and author Carwyn Jones who will be discussing Vanished Wales: Places Lost in Living Memory.
Vanished Wales: Places Lost in Living Memory is the book to accompany one of ITV Cymru Wales’ most popular shows. It explores the fascinating stories of lost landmarks: places in Wales that have disappeared from towns, cities and villages within living memory. As in the series, the book shines a spotlight on this missing heritage, featuring stories from local people who still have a deep personal connection with the remarkable sights that were once on their doorstep.
Lost communities, hives of industry, popular public buildings, cultural and sporting venues, wartime placements, Victorian superstructures and even entire villages: these are once prominent places that have been wiped off the map. Including before and after images from the show, Vanished Wales sings their epitaph.
The book will be for sale on the night and Carwyn will be happy to sign copies for you.
Tickets are £3.00, you can buy them online here or call in to the bookshop, Books at the Dragon’s Garden, 9 High Street, Llandovery, if you buy online click local collection, and we’ll bring them along on the evening, so you don’t pay postage .
