Viewed from the B4236. The local newspaper reported in December 2008 that the last residents had moved out of Llanfrechfa Grange Hospital for people with learning disabilities, ending more than 50 years of long-stay care at the site near Cwmbran. The Grange site still houses an assessment and treatment centre for learning disability and healthcare needs, and remains in use as an administrative headquarters for Gwent Healthcare Trust. It is also likely that part of the site will be used for housing development, though until the Welsh Assembly formally approves the trust's proposal, its future remains unclear.
