Gelli Deg is one of Carmarthenshire's most wonderful & magical lost places. You won't find it on any map, it is not visible on Google Earth it really is lost! After tracking down the owners & getting permission to photograph the house off I went with my mate & historian Pete Francis.
The story goes that the owners left Gelli Deg in the late 1940's & put the house in mothballs but soon after the lead was stripped from the roof & the water came in! The owners asked the local builder to demolish the house if he would accept the interior fittings as payment to this he agreed. The builder stripped the inside & walked away denying that he was told to demolish the outside, nice one Mr Builder I say!
