It was restored in 2005, after being utilized as a student bedsit for some time. An interesting fact is that Dylan Thomas was born in the front room of the same house in 1914. The custodians of the property posted on Facebook that Johnny Depp was rather “amazed” that “so much important Welsh writing” was done in a small bedroom at Dylan Thomas’ house.
