Viewed across the A48 St Teilo Street. The name sign uses the single D spelling of the town's name, an English variant of the Welsh form Pontarddulais. As anyone who has seen a Welsh language Scrabble set knows, DD is one of several digraphs with their own tile because each digraph is one letter, not two, in Welsh orthography. For example, a word such as ffordd has to be played using only 4 tiles, including the FF tile and the DD tile. It is not allowed to use 2 F tiles or 2 D tiles for such a word.
