Glandare House,
Oxford Street,
Aberdare,
Glamorgan.

Glandare House was opened July 1950 as a home for approximately 30 boys. Then in 1966 it became a home for boys and girls. Glandare House finally closed its doors December 1970. Children moved to the newly built Glandare House in Newport.

is recorded as Glandarf House which was a typing error that in its creation has perpetuated a mythical establishment.

20/3/08 I had an email from Cecilia Ann Holloway (nee Collins) who wrote: My brothers and I were at Glandare house. You say it became a mixed home in 1966  I joined Glandare House in September 1955 aged six year five months. I still keep in touch with auntie Mary who was the wife of the homes superintendent and my house mother auntie Diana who now lives in Australia
