More about this scene

This isolated petrol station and café three miles from Ffestiniog proclaims itself the highest petrol station in Wales. Its isolated position has lent itself to appearing in several films - once as a sheep station in the Australian outback! A local farmer, who appeared in the film, recalls how two Australian tourists almost careered off the road when a road sign erected as part of the set pointed to somewhere they knew back home in Oz. Needless to say, they did see the funny side to this.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Towards the end of WW11 my mother took me to visit family in Llan Ffestiniog. I was vey young. I recall clearly looking out of the parlour window and seeing a communal water pump in the street and with dozens if not hundreds of soldiers passing through - apparently en route to their camp at Trawsfynydd. Where was the pump ? Can anyone help? I think it may have been near the wide Y junction in Ffestiniog but I just don't know. Help!
