Llanerch Home, Merthyr Mawr - June & August 2012

[AlexanderJones]

Llanerch Home, Merthyr Mawr, Bridgend.

Llanerch Home was a home for elderly and disabled people in the borough of Bridgend, South Wales. It was built originally as a manor house in the early 20th century, and became a private home for the elderly in the mid-1980’s. It closed to the public in 2000 after a fire severely damaged a large proportion of the structure.

These photographs, taken in June and August 2012, showcase the building as it stands today.

Some shots here from my revisit in August. The weather was a little bit different...

There were a few nice quirky things inside, but sadly no upper floor to get to them anymore...

I got a little fisheye crazy with these next few shots:

Thanks for looking everyone!

More photographs on Flickr and my website!​

Really liked your photograph set in the August wildflowers. Sad that the building's so ruined, but it still has beauty.
