Craig-y-nos film: "Hear Me Now"

This is link to  " Hear Me Now", the excellent film made by Final Year students at Stirling University.

It tells the stories of Pamela Hamer, Roy Harry, Roger Benyon and Ann Shaw.

Boys on the balcony- Craig-y-nos castle

Craig-y-nos Castle - ( 1940s )  boys  on the balcony.


This iconic photo of boys on the balcony at Craig-y-nos in the 1940s has suddenly got a new lease of life- again!

Students from Stirling University Film and Media Department  are using it in their crowdsourcing campaign to raise money to make a documentary about a children’s TB sanatorium.

• So far they have raised £780  of their £1,000 target

The students will be travelling down to  Craig-y-nos in the Swansea Vallaey  to film  in just over a week’s time, and I have suggested they wrap up warm because it will be cold.

A small group of patients have agreed to be interviewed.  And, of course, there is the small matter of the ghosts…particularly Adelina Patti.

Oh yes, I will be there too.
