Carriage and Pair outside Craig Y Nos Castle.

Description

Madam Patti's 'carriage and pair' outside Craig-y-Nos Castle. The coachman on the left was David Davies (known to people in Talley as Daffo, Gelynen. When Madame Patti died, the castle was sold and the staff, who were treated extremely well by her, had to look for other work. Daffo and his wife Mary Ann moved to Gelynen Las, a small holding near Carmel Chapel, owned by Daniel Thomas, Llethr Mawr farm, Talley. Daffo worked for Daniel Thomas, a cattle dealer and farmer, as a drover. Daffo and Mary Ann, who died six weeks after him, were buried at Carmel graveyard and Gelynen Las became a ruin many years ago.
