Soldiers’ Gallery and ‘shovel-board’, Cefn Mably

Cefn Mably was a significant 16th century country house with later additions. In the 1920s it became a tuberculosis sanatorium and was then used as a hospital up until 1983. The house was left empty in the 1980s and part of it burnt down in the '90s. Apartments now stand in its place.
