County Hall, Cwmbran
County Hall was a municipal facility at Croesyceiliog in Cwmbran in Wales.History
had met the Shire Hall in Newport, from its creation in 1889. By the 1960s the county council needed more modern facilities: a new building was designed by Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall and construction started in 1969. Following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1972, the new building was destined to become the home of Gwent County Council and construction was eventually completed in 1977. On 1 April 1996, under the Local Government Act 1994, Gwent was abolished and the building was acquired by the newly formed Monmouthshire County Council. However, after the building was found to have concrete cancer, and rectification work was estimated at £30 million, the county council decided to demolish it. After the county council had moved to new facilities at Usk, demolition of the County Hall in Cwmbran was carried out in 2013 and the cleared site was sold to Kier Group for residential development.
