Sam Higgins is a Chief Lightkeeper travelling on
a train in Wales, he is going to take up his post on the North Stack
Lighthouse, which has an unhappy notoriety, some say its haunted………. situated
on a lonely stretch of the Welsh coast. Arriving at TAN – Y – BWLCH railway
station he asks an old woman…………
“‘ere misses…… where can I get a car to the
village?”
Ordinarily this would be an innocent
enough question, and one not usually to be given a second thought. However
Higgins is in Wales, on the Ffestiniog line, and therefore every time I watch
this 1935 film the question invokes for me an idea or feeling of an Italianate
village on a certain estuary.
Be seeing you
