What is recorded here

The Ewenny River and Ogmore Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Bridgend, Wales. Perhaps the river carried voices to the castle walls while the castle returned them changed. Maybe the water remembered every bargain made beside it. Imagine standing where the river bends and hearing both sides of a forgotten conversation.
