Pentre Helen Housing Estate

This large housing estate was built in the late 1930s, effectively linking Deiniolen and Clwt y Bont into one village. Built on an exposed hillside, and painted bright yellow then, the estate is reputed to have had a special mention from Hamburg Radio, when Lord Haw Haw warned that "Yellow Village" in North Wales was on the Luftwaffe's target list.
