Old Sign, Thomas Gabrielle Nursing Home, Victoria Street, Cwmbran 24 September 2017
This building was erected as the offices of Cwmbran Development Corporation, established by the 1949 New Towns Act to administer the development of Cwmbran New Town, wound up in accordance with the Act in 1999. For a few years it was a hotel before becoming a nursing home. I am assuming this sign originally applied to the hotel and has been changed from "open to non residents"; why not just remove it?
The Signwise telephone number Newport 841766 suggests the sign pre-dates the introduction of the 01633 STD prefix in the 1980s/90s.
