History of the site
The Canolfan Pentre Awel site is steeped in rich history and heritage.
In 1861, the site was home to a brickworks company established by prominent figure, William Thomas, who took advantage of the area which was known for its large amounts of clay deposits. Thomas was also responsible for building the first residential block for his workers, nicknamed Brick Row.
By the late 19th Century, the site was occupied by the yards of the South Wales Tinplate Works, established by Edward Moorewood and John Rogers. The vast infrastructure dominated the area, and additional railway tracks and loading bays on the bank of the shipping channel were added to cope with the volume of goods coming from the area.
When the South Wales Works fell into disrepair by the end of the Second World War, the site was transformed into Delta Lakes. New paths were laid and roads were created- including the roundabout now seen at Delta Lakes.
How we have built on the history
Targeted intervention and investment has allowed the County Council to bring this site back into use.
'Breezy Village', Pentre Awel's namesake is based around bringing the outside in. Intentional architectural decisions were made to represent its natural surroundings, including large windows, open spaces, wooden panelling and allowing for an abundance of light to flood the space.
