Monmouth Square, Cwmbran 24 April 2018

Monmouth Square and Water(less) Gardens. Thought I’d get a few photos in before the imminent revamp of the town centre.

 

The buildings around Gwent and Monmouth Squares are getting a gaudy cladding makeover. Additionally, the Gwent Square bandstand and the much loved “Dai & Myfanwy” clock on the Congress Theatre is being removed, fate unknown. On Monmouth Square, the Water(less) Gardens are being removed and built over.

 

In my opinion the Water Gardens should be restored to their former glory, forming a wonderful focal point, not filled in for the benefit of (yet another) cafe and a few market stalls.
