She said: “I’m a movie buff and it struck me how these beautiful birds crop up in films of every genre. People love crows, people love movies and I’ve found out that Cwmbran people love their town’s Welsh name.

“What other movie character can pop up in a Disney Movie (helping Dumbo face his fears), resurrect a rock musician in cult classic The Crow and be the loyal friend of a librarian in tear-jerker The Shawshank Redemption.

“The crow is the unsung hero of the film world and Cwmbran is going to change that. Visitors will learn more about this beautiful, talented bird and its impact on Hollywood.

“And this will be done in the world’s only valley dedicated to the crow.”
