In 1989 the semi-derelict site was bought by Taff-Ely County Borough Council, who still today own the site.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“For Africa to me ... is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“You were born into a different world that will present you with different gifts and challenges. A new vision of manhood will be called for that does not tie so closely into the more aggressive and competitive residues of our male character. You will need to search out new ways of expressing strength, showing mastery, and exhibiting courage—ways that do not depend upon confronting the world before you as an adversary.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
“There is some pleasure even in words, when they bring forgetfulness of present miseries.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
