History of Blaenavon
When the Hospital closed it became a nursing home and in 1995 a Grade 2 Listed Building. Left empty following its closure in 2006, badly vandalised and stripped of its lead work, slate Roof and original interiors, the building was placed on the At Risk register. The House was sold in 2017 and is currently undergoing restoration as a family home once again.
