Notes on GLAN-COTHI STABLES, Pont-ar-Gothi, Carmarthenshire 2010

The large house of Glan-Cothi has gone. Demolished some time between 2003 and 2007(?). Many clues are left; a tree lined driveway, an ornate iron gateway and these ruinous stables. On the site of the house are modern agricultural buildings obviously a much more practical solution to a large, damp, unwanted and expensive house.

The stables were piled high with furniture, all damp and rotting and/or broken. All totally worthless. In another more recent outbuilding were the remanants of the last owners life. Piled high were clothes, boots, bags, ornaments, nick-nacks, boxes of spilled possessions and also old photographs laying in puddles, the slugs eating the coating off destroying the faces permanently. Glan-Cothi is an intensely sorrowful site.
