Description

I used to hang around an old remote derelict T.B. hospital (called Cefn Mably Hospital), back in the mid 90's. I adored the place. Some parts were as old as 16th Century. It oozed character and was also haunted. It was an amazing building. Till some shyster burned it down. NOW it is luxury flats!

We knew the caretaker who was a crazy old bloke who lived up there but would not stay in the house itself, so he set up home in a rickety 70's caravan just outside the main entrance.

He let me and my mates run riot (in a respectful kind of way!). I took hundreds of photos and spent many a cold winter night putting on haunted zombie adventures with a bunch of my mates for groups of re-enactors. What fun! What memories!!

So here is Brian who posed by this window in the main hall of Cefn Mably for ages while I took photos of him for this pastel painting. Not sure really what inspired this one. Heck it was over 10 years ago!
