WW1 Memorial at former St Athan Boys' Village
The Boys' Village opened in 1925 as a holiday home for up to 180 boys from families of the working class in South Wales.
The Boys' Club movement (now Clubs for Young People Wales) had been started in the early 1920s by Captain J Glynn-Jones and David Davies of Llandinam. Davies was the chair of the Ocean Coal Company and Glynn-Jones was its Welfare Officer.
The memorial was erected as part of the construction of the camp to commemorate the youth of all nations who died in the First World War. It was located at the focal point of the village within a formal landscaped garden with the village buildings surrounding. It was later amended with the dates of World War II.
The Club closed in 1990 and is badly vandalised. The memorial is a grade II listed building.
