Boys Village, St athans was a war time camp for miners. Now a derelict village, there are many rumours about what has happened there. Such as murders in the church, a fire with many deaths, and the roof of the pool collapsing whilst people were in it. No suspicious activities have been confirmed, but visitors to the village have certainly experienced some strange things. The village is said to be inhabited by drug addicts and homeless people, and it is continually being vandalized by youths of the area.
Boys Village is derelict, but on my visits there is no evidence of drug use, & no one could live there at all, even homeless persons, the place is wrecked & has been stripped by lead & copper thieves. The camp was established in the 1920's to provide a holiday by the sea for the boys of the South Wales coalfields, but has had many uses over the years, & now it's future is uncertain. The pool roof collapsed in 2006-7, long after the camp was abandoned.
