Viewed from Pant Street. The name sign remains as a reminder that this was Aberbargoed & District Hospital, demolished after closure in November 2010. The hospital, run by Aneurin Bevan Health Board, was more than 100 years old. No longer able to provide modern technology facilities, it was the first hosptital in Caerphilly County Borough to close ahead of the opening of the new 255-bed Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr, which at the time was being built in Ystrad Mynach. The demolished hospital had 22 beds which were mostly used for elderly and frail patients waiting to return home or transfer to a care home. It was also the home base for the district nursing team, the community mental health team, school nurses and a community paediatric nurse.

The steps lead from the corner of the clinic http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3496442 to a path at the rear of houses in Neuaddwen Street.

On the east side of Commercial Street, near the junction with the A469 link road. The War Memorial Gates were erected "In Glorious Memory of Those who fell in the Great War 1914-1918". The War Memorial Gates bear a plaque, added by the Royal British Legion in 2002, commemorating Glyndwr Michael (1909-1943), a native of Aberbargoed. After his death, he was The Man Who Never Was, a strategy which played a major part in the course of World War II. His corpse, disguised as a Royal Marines officer, was put into the Mediterranean with a briefcase containing documents which convinced the Germans that the Allies planned to attack Greece in the summer of 1943. The real target was Italy.
