Keith Colbrooke and his solicitor wife Dawn Bala bought the stute with the money she embezelled from her clients in Newport and the surrounding area. Dawn Bala had an office by the hand post and most of her cleints were elderly people in sheltered accomodation who trusted her with their life savings and the proceeds of the sale of thier homes. My father being one of them. She was arrested on their return from holiday in portugal and was sent to prison for 2 years. There was most definately a cover up of sorts concerning the sale of the stute as it was definately a listed building.
