Located on the north side of St John's Road, Cambrian House is currently occupied by St David's Foundation Hospice Care. A blue plaque http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2986984 on the building records that the building dates from 1854 (though the year 1859 appears on a tablet above the doorway). It was built for Thomas Spittle, who developed the Cambrian foundry on a site later known as Spittle's Point. He also owned works on the east bank (of the River Usk) where three iron ships were launched. Cambrian House was Grade II listed in February 1980.
