Glandare House, Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales

In December 1970, Barnardo's opened its Glandare House home at Parret Road on the Bettws Estate, Newport. As well as a mixed children's home, the development included a day care unit. The home replaced an older property at Aberdare, also known as Glandare House, whose children were transferred to the new premises.
