Captured in this vintage print from 1989, we see Mr Peter Walker, Secretary of State for Wales, delivering a heartfelt speech as he inaugurates the newly refurbished block of flats at Whitebeam Close in Gurnos. Standing beside him is the esteemed Mayor of Merthyr, Councillor Mrs Kath Rogers. This significant event marked an important milestone in providing housing solutions for young offenders. The image showcases the architectural charm of these maisonette-style flats nestled within the vibrant community of Gurnos, Merthyr Tydfil. The reconditioned estate stands tall and proud against the backdrop of lush greenery and blue skies that epitomize the beauty of Wales. These flats hold immense significance as they were specifically designed to accommodate young offenders seeking a fresh start.
