Dylan Thomas writing shed overlooking the Taf estuary at Laugharne in Carmarthenshire Wales

---

Dylan Thomas’s writing shed began its life back in the 1920s, a Dr Cowan, who spent his holidays at the boathouse, bought the shed to house his Wolsey car. He paid £75 to erect the £5 shed on cast iron pillars on the cliffside at a time when the average house price was just £200. It was erected on a platform on a cliff-ledge a hundred yards from the Boat House. When Margaret Taylor secured the Boat House for the Thomases in May 1949, the empty garage became Dylan’s ‘work shed’; an old anthracite stove, a large bookcase, and two tables were installed as part of the ‘extras’ included in purchasing the House. It was here he wrote "Do not go gentle into that good night"
