Though in the middle of Cwmbran, a town of about 50,000 inhabitants, St Dials Road looks much as it would have done in the first half of the 20th century. At that time it connected the village of St Dials with the village of Cwmbran. Following the rapid growth of Cwmbran after it was designated a New Town in 1949, St Dials is now a district of Cwmbran, and Cwmbran village is now known as Old Cwmbran. Viewed from near the roundabout at the meeting of Ty Gwyn Way, Greenforge Way, Greenmeadow Way and St Dials Road. The street name sign shows St Dials Road leading to Uplands Terrace http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2290627 and Hodges Terrace. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2290976 A few metres ahead, the road narrows to single-track. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2290579
