Blaenavon World Heritage Centre and Blaenavon Library
Viewed across Church Road in May 2018. Blaenavon World Heritage Centre, the first in the UK, opened in March 2008. It tells the story of Blaenavon and its people during the huge changes in the area during the Industrial Revolution. Housed within two refurbished historic buildings, the centre's visitor facilities include exhibitions, a cafe and a tourist information centre. Blaenavon Library relocated here from Lion Street in 2015.
The buildings were originally St Peter's Church School, which opened in 1816. Unlike most schools of the era, it provided free education (for ironworkers' children up to the age of 12).
