Series Producer, Director and Journalist Carwyn Jones introduces us to his new book "Vanished Wales: Places Lost in Living Memory." The book accompanies one of ITV Cymru Wales’ most popular shows and explores the fascinating stories of lost landmarks: places in Wales that have disappeared from towns, cities and villages within living memory.
We'll have a special focus on The Severn Princess.
As in the series, the book shines a spotlight on this missing heritage, featuring stories from local people who still have a deep personal connection with the remarkable sights that were once on their doorstep.
Lost communities, hives of industry, popular public buildings, cultural and sporting venues, wartime placements, Victorian superstructures and even entire villages: these are once prominent places that have been wiped off the map. Including before and after images from the show, Vanished Wales sings their epitaph.
