Known locally as 'The Gower', and currently empty and undergoing restoration, the building dates from the 1870s. It has been both hospital and school in its time, but most recently was used as a Youth Centre. Plans had been drawn up to demolish the building and replace it with housing and a supermarket, but a local petition signed by nearly 1000 people led to the building being saved, to be restored for community use. The Gower is now grade 2 listed. Other views: Image], Image
