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.

Looking across Ffridd Gel towards the Pentre Helen Estate
Ffridd Gel, an area of rough grazing, was where touring circuses used to set up camp in the 1950s and early 60s. The stone wall marks the line of the 1824 Dinorwig Quarry tramway which preceded the Padarn Railway. The Pentre Helen Council estate beyond was built shortly before World War II and physically united the then separate villages of Deiniolen and Clwt y bont.
