Viewed from the corner of Durham Road and Elysia Street on March 1st 2013. This was the location of Durham Road School http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1693048 which closed at the end of 2009. Pupils and staff transferred to the nearby newly-built Glan Usk school, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1934876 which opened in January 2010. The new school was a long-awaited replacement for the Victorian buildings, which had been declared unfit for purpose more than a decade earlier. There was no indication on the fencing of the future use of this vacant area.
