-You don't need much help to guess -where we are in this programme. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:04 | |
-There were once 50 windmills -and 50 watermills on this island. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
-They produced flour on the island -known as the Mother of Wales. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
-There's more to Anglesey -than industrial buildings. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
-Welcome to Y Ty Cymreig. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |

-In this programme, we'll see -some of Anglesey's great houses. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
-A chateau - yes, honestly! | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
-One of the last thatched cottages -on the island. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
-A lighthouse which is a unique home. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
-A mansion which has been -in the same family for 400 years. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
-Anyone who's spent time on the -Menai Straits has seen this house. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
-It's totally different from -anything else you see on this river. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:35 | |
-Yes, it's unique. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
-Chateau Rhianfa is probably -the only chateau in Wales. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
-It was designed -to look like a Loire Valley chateau. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
-The land was bought -by the 2nd Baronet of Bodelwyddan... | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
-..Sir John Hay Williams, in 1849. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
-The chateau was designed by -an architect from Liverpool. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
-I'm not sure why they built -a chateau in Wales but why not? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
-Sir John was rich and had romantic -ideas about medieval design. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
-It's a complete fantasy. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
-The garden is an important part -of the Victorian image. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
-Yes, collectors returned -from China, India and so on... | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-..with rhododendron, frangipani -and so on. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
-Wealthy people bought them -and planted them in their gardens. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:39 | |
-This garden is sheltered -and that helps. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-There are several buildings -in the garden. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
-That's a special one. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
-Yes, the dovecote is my favourite. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-The romantic shape of its roof -is inspired by French designs. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
-I'm very fond -of the fish scale slates. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-This reflects -the sheer magnitude of their wealth. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
-They could afford to spend pots -of money on a dovecote - on a whim! | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
-Much of what we see here -is original to the house. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
-This is a magnificent ceiling. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-Yes and that's the original paint, -which is wonderful. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
-Considering this place was converted -into student flats in the 1960s... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
-..it's in amazingly good condition. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-These American walnut doors are the -best available in the Victorian age. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
-You can see from the decor that the -present owners respect the property. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:46 | |
-Yes, the 20th century furniture -fits in really well. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:51 | |
-The architectural features such as -the fireplace and the ceiling... | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
-..are a mixture -of Baroque, Indian and classical. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
-Maybe that's why 20th century -pop art furniture is perfect for it! | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
-What is that castle I can see -beneath the window? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
-Whatever it is, it suits the room! | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
-You could throw almost anything -into the mix. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
-It looks like William Burgess's work -at Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:22 | |
-It's actually a working fireplace. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
-It's under a window -but there's a flue to one side. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-We've moved -to the back of the house. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
-This area looks as though -it should be outside. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
-It was a conservatory -or an orangery. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-Even here, there's a beautiful -fancy staircase. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
-It looks even more stunning -because the wall is painted black. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
-This really fancy water bowl -is there for the plants. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-Look at those Romanesque columns! | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-It's all very, very ornate. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-It must have been very expensive and -no-one could afford to do it today. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
-There's a huge element -of fantasy here. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
-Yes, it's pure fantasy. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
-Wealthy Victorians -were very conservative... | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
-..but the architecture we see here -is anything but conservative! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
-This lady is the reason we're here. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
-Yes, that's Lady Sarah... | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
-..the woman responsible for -the decor of this place. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
-She doesn't look too happy about it -in that portrait! | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
-How many houses have a lift? | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
-How many houses have a lift? - -Very few. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
-Come on, Minti! | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
-When someone mentions a lighthouse, -you think of this. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
-Tall and stripey -with a light on the top. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
-Think again - some are different. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-I've always wanted to see -a lighthouse on Y Ty Cymreig. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-There are nine of them on Anglesey. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-Tell me about this one. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
-Tell me about this one. - -It was built in 1835. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-It's unusual, -in that it has no tower. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
-Most of our lighthouses were built -in association with Trinity House... | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
-..but this one -was built by Jesse Hartley. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-It looks like a castle. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
-Neo-Gothic fashion was growing -and it looks like a mini mansion... | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
-..or a lodge for a mansion -from that period. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-Why did they need three houses? | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
-Three people ran every lighthouse. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-One lighthouse keeper -and two pilots. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
-We live in the main house and we -let the cottages to holidaymakers. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
-Iona, Robin and Finn, the -Irish Wolfhound, own the lighthouse. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:13 | |
-How did you come across this place? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-When we first met each other, -over 20 years ago... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-..we came here for a picnic. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
-We sat there and Robin said... | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
-.."If I could live anywhere -in the world, it would be here." | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
-I replied, "Don't be silly! -Who could buy a lighthouse?" | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
-Many years later, -we were on holiday here... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
-..when we passed an estate agent -and saw Point Lynas was for sale. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
-Two years later, we bought it. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
-Are you in charge -of keeping the lamp shining? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
-No, although Robin says -I'm the foghorn in this place! | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-Trinity House -maintain the lighthouse building. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
-They come here once a month -to keep an eye on it. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
-How does the lamp work? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
-How does the lamp work? - -It's a work of art. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-It's really beautiful. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
-All the hard work -is done by three small bulbs. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-I have one of those bulbs -in my pocket. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
-Look how incredibly small this is! | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
-Three 250 watt bulbs, what you'd -have in a domestic light fitting... | 0:09:33 | 0:09:38 | |
-..light up this room. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-You can see the light 20 miles away. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
-The magnifying work -is all done by these lovely lenses. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
-Yes, the glass is really wonderful. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
-Yes, indeed. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-How was the light produced -before electricity was invented? | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
-They used paraffin lamps -and oil lamps before that. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
-There was a massive fire risk -in the house. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
-The keeper's house -is just behind this wall. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-That's why it's a stone staircase. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
-What do you like most -about living here? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-The best thing about it is the sea. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-I love to sit and watch the sea. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |

-Welcome back to Y Ty Cymreig -and to a hidden gem - Carreglwyd. | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
-Unlike the chateau we saw earlier, -this is tucked away. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-Yes, it's completely private. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
-This mansion was built in 1634. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-It isn't on a hilltop -and it offers no glorious views. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
-In fact, it's hidden in a hollow. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-To all intents and purposes, -it looks like a Georgian house. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
-It's been remodelled. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
-Everything to the left of the -central chimney is 17th century. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
-Everything to the right of it -is 18th century... | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
-..and there are -some Victorian touches here. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-It looks like one building. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
-For once, pebbledash -has proved to be an asset! | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
-Yes, but I'd never say that -about any other house! | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
-They worked hard -to keep the symmetry. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
-What features can we see here? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
-These are Georgian windows. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-Ordinary ones to the left... | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
-..and huge ones to the right, -in the dining room. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
-The dormers at the top -have side-hung sashes. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
-The Georgian fanlight -above the door is outstanding. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
-This is the best view of the house. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
-The trouble is I can't turn the boat -around to admire it! | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-Wherever we look in this room, -there's a chunk of history. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
-There are centuries of history -in this room. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
-Yes, Carreglwyd has been -in the same family... | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
-..since it was built -in the 17th century. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
-There are portraits on the walls -in almost every room. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
-In the hall, the first room you see -when you enter the house.... | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
-..is a portrait of William Griffith, -who built this house. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
-He was Master of the Rolls -for Charles I. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
-The golden handshake he received -upon his retirement... | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
-..paid for this house. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:40 | |
-Who's that lady? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:42 | |
-Who's that lady? - -That's his wife. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
-Her portrait is twice as big as his! | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
-It doesn't say her name. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:48 | |
-She's known as The Wife of -Chancellor Griffith of Carreglwyd. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:53 | |
-The owner and passionate caretaker -of Carreglwyd now is Tom Carpenter. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:06 | |
-The house has been adapted -several times. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
-I took over the estate in 1982. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
-A significant amount of -renovation work was carried out... | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
-..between 1982 and 1985. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
-My aim was to return this part -of the house to the 1760s. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
-The kitchen and breakfast room -have been modernised. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
-That contrast works well for us. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
-My wife made the greatest sacrifice -and she did most of the hard work. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:38 | |
-It's great -in spring, summer and autumn... | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
-..but winter -continues to be a challenge. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
-High oil prices -make it an expensive house to heat. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
-Have you made sacrifices -or is it a privilege? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
-It's both of those things. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:56 | |
-I can't imagine being away from here -for a long period of time. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
-These windows -are bigger than the other ones. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
-It's a lighter room. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:19 | |
-It's a lighter room. - -Yes. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
-That's the original stain. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
-They haven't been painted. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
-These arches -are very much Georgian features. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
-Yes, they're typically Georgian. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-We're talking about -the classical period here. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
-This curved door -leads to the kitchen. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-This is one of my all-time -favourite doors. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-Imagine how difficult it must have -been to hang a curved door! | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |
-It's verging on the impossible. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
-It could do with some polish! | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
-It's wonderful -to be enveloped in history. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-This magnificent landing -is like a first floor hall. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:04 | |
-It's big enough -to be a take-off and landing! | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
-This is the main staircase and the -servants' staircase is next to it. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:12 | |
-From what period -does this part date? | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
-It's the original -17th century building... | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
-..as you can see from the beams -and the mouldings. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
-This is definitely 17th century. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
-Did this room -have a particular function? | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-Its size suggests to me -this was a reception room. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
-It's certainly a great space -in which to display heirlooms. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
-Are there bedrooms off this landing? | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
-Are there bedrooms off this landing? - -Yes, let me show you my favourite. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
-Isn't it lovely? | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
-It isn't a huge room -but the fireplace is wonderful. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
-It dates back to the Regency period, -which was the early 19th century. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:58 | |
-We tend to link Georgian style -with plain designs. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
-Yes, classical designs. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
-This is exceptionally fancy! | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
-There's a dado rail and a -decorative strip around the ceiling. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
-It really is ornate. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:13 | |
-Yes but think about the -leading architect, John Nash... | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
-..and his work at Yr Hafod -and in the famous Brighton Pavilion. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:25 | |
-We see similar designs -on this fireplace. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
-This Indian shape -was the height of fashion. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
-Chinese and Indian designs -were all the rage. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
-There's no plaster here - -it's all wood. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
-The cornice is made of wood as well. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
-Does it feel like a Welsh house -to you? | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
-The children all speak Welsh -and I feel Welsh. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
-My family -is a part of the history of Wales. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-Being a part of the 'Yes' campaign -for the Welsh Assembly... | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
-..made it all come alive for me. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
-Everyone has a part to play -in the new Wales... | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
-..and I'm proud of that. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-It's my duty to help my children -follow their own path in life... | 0:18:23 | 0:18:28 | |
-..and also to be a part -of preserving Carreglwyd. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
-Once, Anglesey was covered with -whitewashed thatched cottages. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
-Today, Swtan in the north of the -island, is the last one standing. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
-Greg, you must be in your element. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
-Yes, this cottage -makes my heart sing. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
-This is why we make Y Ty Cymreig. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
-It's all about -pretty, original cottages like this. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
-This is -the quintessential Welsh house. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-Yes, indeed. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 | |
-We're very close to the sea. -Was this a fisherman's cottage? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
-It was a smallholding. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:34 | |
-The pigsty has gone -but the calf shed is here. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
-There are large gardens here. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
-The oat straw on the roof -suggests they cultivated oat here. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
-It was a smallholding -but they may have fished as well. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
-People did what they could -to make ends meet. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
-The main house is on this side... | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
-..with the fireplace -and the dairy next to it. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
-This was common layout -in west Wales. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
-This floor looks like concrete. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-No, it isn't concrete. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:06 | |
-This is the original earth floor. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
-If you look closely, you can see -the nails where the lino was. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
-The roof has been rebuilt -but it is very traditional. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
-The roof trusses are new, -as is the roof structure. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
-The gorse underthatch -is covered with canvas. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
-They would have originally used -old grain sacks. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:32 | |
-What is the house used for today? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
-What is the house used for today? - -It's a museum. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
-Cadw and the National Trust -aren't involved. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
-The Porth Swtan community, -assisted by Menter Mon... | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
-..raised the money -to carry out this project. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
-Peter Muckle -helped the Porth Swtan community... | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
-..but perhaps the leading expert -was a man who lived in Swtan. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
-Gwilym, you were the last person -to be born in this house. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
-For how long did you live here? | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
-I lived here for over 30 years. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-What memories do you have -of living here? | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
-Good memories of long summers -spent on the beach... | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
-..and going fishing with my dad. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
-Going out on balmy summer evenings. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
-Was it a comfortable home? | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
-It was alright, -as long as you were by the fire. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
-If you moved away from the fire it -was cold, especially in the winter. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:40 | |
-It was great in the summer. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
-Where did you sleep? | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
-Where did you sleep? - -Up in the cockloft. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:46 | |
-Up there. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:49 | |
-This is the calf house -and it is also thatched. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
-They needed the roof nets -because it's windy here. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
-This is a tiny space. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
-This must be the calf. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:16 | |
-This must be the calf. - -Yes, Minti's new friend! | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
-You can see the walls, -which are interesting. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
-This local stone probably came from -the fields and from the beach. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
-They didn't waste whitewash. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
-Only the bottom half of the wall -was whitewashed. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
-It's wonderful to see the gorse. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
-This is how the underthatch looks -without a canvas. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
-Are you proud of -your renovated former home? | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
-Yes, I'm proud of it and -it can make me yearn for the past. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:54 | |
-You're now a grandfather. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
-You're now a grandfather. - -Yes, I have six grandchildren. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
-They love to come here. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
-I hope some of them -help keep this place going. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
-There are few examples like this -in Wales. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
-Unfortunately, that's true. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
-The lesson for us all is -how the community came together... | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
-..to save this place. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:25 | |
-If everyone in Wales did that... | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
-..we'd have enough houses -to fill 20 series of Y Ty Cymreig! | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
-Yes but unfortunately, -that isn't the case. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
