The road south from the A468 Newport Road reaches the northern edge of Waterloo, a hamlet in Caerphilly County Borough. The text is also in Welsh. The council's website records that the hamlet's name is derived from two streets named after the Waterloo Forge and Tinplate works which, amongst other items, made equipment for the aviation industry as there was an aircraft works nearby in Machen. The tinplate works closed in 1943.
