Colourful mural, Maesglas, Newport
On a wall on Bideford Road, viewed from the corner of Cardiff Road.
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/559684 to a view of the far end of the mural.
On the right side of the mural are these words
"Maesglas was a penniless place everybody called Moscow. When it was built in the thirties the winter was of such Soviet severity that the frost-bound workmen gave it the name. Poor though it was, nobody who ever lived there can today mention its name or its Russian nickname without breaking into a grin."
written by Leslie Thomas, Newport-born author of novels such as The Virgin Soldiers, Tropic of Ruislip and Dangerous Davies, The Last Detective.

Green Maesglas name on a wall in Newport
The name is a recent addition to the wall on the corner of Maesglas Avenue and Cardiff Road.
Perhaps its mainly green colour represents the literal translation of the Welsh Maesglas (green field). The local pronunciation of the first element of Maesglas is 'maze' whereas the Welsh is similar to 'mice'.
