Tiger Bay

[markrgv]

I watched Tiger Bay recently and was interested in the countryside scenes, where either a lake or reservoir is visible in the distance and there is the old ruins of a farm house - later which Gillie is running round.

On the commentary Hayley Mills says that it was filmed at Talybont on Usk.



I was just wondering if anone knows (maybe locals to that area) are those ruins still there now? And if so where to find them.

Thanks for any info.



Mark.

I assume it's Usk in South Wales, try this link as a starting point

There is a fairly large reservoir to the south of Talybont-on-Usk, I used to go there when I was a child. There are also some fort ruins to the south of Talybont.



I looked up the movie locations on IMDB and it says Talybont Cardigan which is about 80 miles away from Talybont-on-Usk

Yes i noticed it says Talybont Cardigan on IMDB - but i think this is incorrect.

On the dvd commentary Hayley Mills says they filmed at Talybont-on-Usk, and also this would make sense as it is close to Cardiff where they were based.



I'll have to go back to the area and have a look around
