The Pontypool Park House stable block in a derelict state in around 1970. Picture: Torfaen Museum. THIS photograph shows the Pontypool Park House stable block in a derelict state in around 1970. Since 1980 the site has been refurbished as the Torfaen Museum Trust’s valley museum. The Trust was formed in 1978 from the former Torfaen Borough Council museum service. Although originally established to provide a heritage trail with sites along the Torfaen Valley, including the Blaenavon Ironworks, Forge Row at Cwmavon, Junction Cottage at Pontymoile and Llanyrafon Farm, the Trust now has just one major site housing its collections, Amgueddfa Torfaen Museum here at Park Buildings (which was opened to the public as the Valley Inheritance Museum in 1981).
