Cwmbran Info: Image of the Month: April 2008 

 

April 2008   St. Josephs Meadow, Barratt Development, Cwmbran
Location: Llantarnam Road, Oakfield, Cwmbran
Subject: First sod breaks on new Barratt Homes development
Comment: April saw the start of the site clearing for Barratt Homes' new Cwmbran Development: St. Josephs [sic] Meadow.  It will consist of 2,3,4 and 5 bedroom homes but as yet there is minimum detail from Barratt Homes.
Accessed from Llantarnam Road, this meadow is flanked by the back of Burtons Biscuits, the railway line and Court Road Industrial Estate.
It appears to have the postcode NP44 3YL - which is also the postcode for Burtons Biscuits.

 

Location: Oakfield Flower Garden, Cwmbran Magnolia flowers near the end
Subject: Magnolia tree's short burst of glory
Comment: Nothing strange about seeing the familiar early-spring burst of the Magnolia tree.  However, a few cold nights in mid April have shortened the bloom's glory.  By 17 April, they were already fading and turning to a carpet of petals.
Location: Grange Road, Cwmbran Danter's Family Fun Fair
Subject: Danter's Family Fun Fair
Comment: Better than most previous fun fairs in the range of rides and all set on hard ground rather than grass.  Open from 17th - 27th April 2008.  For more info see entry.
