The Boys Village St Athan HISTORY TRASHED

Philanthropist David Davies, 1st Baron Davies of Llandinam and president of the Ocean Coal Company and his Welfare Officer Captain J. Glynn Jones, co-founders of the Boys' Clubs of Wales were first inspired to build a holiday camp for the sons of miners from the South Wales Coalfield in the early 1920s after attending a youth camp in Kent.[1] Opened on August 8, 1925, the camp offered them an escape from the polluted and unhealthy atmosphere of Valleys industrial towns and a place to play and be free, as well as being close to the nearby beach.[1] Boys Village1.jpg Boys Village2.jpg The buildings included a dining hall, dormitories, a gym, swimming pool, workshops and a church. There was also a full-sized cricket pitch, putting green, tennis courts, football and rugby grounds and a pavilion. A War Memorial in the centre of the complex commemorated men from the coalfields who had lost their lives in the two World Wars The camp was requisitioned in 1940 for military use but returned to civilian use in 1946. In 1962, the centre was refurbished and a youth hostel opened on site as well as facilities for teaching work-related skills such as mechanical engineering.[1] Use of the village declined with the growth of cheap holidays abroad and the decline in coal mining in the Welsh valleys. In 1990, the Boys' Clubs of Wales, the organisation responsible for running the camp, went into administration, forcing the site's closure.[2] My Instagram:   / mattswilli   Facebook:   / 1228424283971624   email me at [email protected] or [email protected] Music PCiii - Fortress Equipment used: Sony A7s ii with Samyang 14mm full frame lens Dji Pocket 2 camera Insta 360x R Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 Ryzen 3950X 65GB Ram Windows 10 (No Apple shiz here) Nvidia RTX 3090 GFX
