Former Ty Darran care home, Risca
Metal plates cover windows and doors of the former Ty Darran care home which closed in 2010. The closure which caused 11 elderly residents to be rehoused, occurred despite petitions and protests from the local community. The council said the decision would help address surplus beds in the area, help care for more elderly people in their own home and save £400,000 that would have been needed to refurbish Ty Darran.
