Sat Nite at the Horse & Jockey
The Horse and Jockey closed permanently in April 2017 but this chalk board on the front wall is still clearly legible two years later - the 'Sat Nite' in question may have been its last operational day. Judging by the entertainment on offer it cannot have been a very upmarket establishment. See Image for a wider view.

The Horse & Jockey, Ponciau
Sadly the Horse and Jockey at the bottom of Chapel Street permanently closed in April 2017 and the place has become somewhat overgrown in the ensuing two years. Although owners Admiral Taverns attempted to sell it as a public house, apparently there was no interest and at the time of this photograph a planning application had been submitted to convert the building into six apartments.

Mount Pleasant English Baptist Chapel, Ponciau
This chapel was built in 1891 to the design of architect J.G. Owen. It is evidently still going strong. Rhosllanerchrugog and the adjacent villages had (and still have) an unusually high proportion of Welsh speakers for this part of Wales so with services in other chapels conducted in Welsh no doubt there would have been a need for an English chapel to cater for the English speaking members of the community.

Rhosllannerchrugog village sign
This is one of several "colliery" community signs that have been commissioned to commemorate the North East Wales coalfield. The communities of Johnstown, Pant, Ponciau & Rhosllannerchrugog were all involved with the many collieries nearby.

Rhosllanerchrugog
This depiction of a colliery headstock wheel is a reminder that Rhosllanerchrugog and the associated settlements of Johnstown, Pant and Ponciau were coal mining villages. The last local colliery, Bersham, closed in 1986. The plaque to the right commemorates Tom Jones, 'trade Unionist, Socialist and Spanish Republican volunteer'.
