Stone pillar, The Upper Cock, Croesyceiliog
This three-sided stone pillar is in the forecourt of The Upper Cock Inn http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1526053. The side seen here faces The Highway. The inscription reads Here is an inn - the cross of the cock. A welcome is yours for a penny, For payment so small, Good beer waits for you all, Come in, taste our ale, good as any. There is no date on the inscription, but the stone appears to be much too new to have been erected when beer was a penny a pint. On another side is the Welsh version of the text. The third side is blank.

The Upper Cock Inn, Croesyceiliog
Located on The Highway, adjacent to the junction with the Garw. The weather vane,on the left edge of the main roof, has an appropriate shape. The name Croesyceiliog, the Cock's Cross, may derive from a large sculptured crowing cock that used to be on a mound in a field near the Inn. It was possibly a medieval reference to St Peter's denial of Jesus. The sculpture is thought to have been destroyed by Cromwell's troops in the mid 17th century during their pillaging of the countryside.

Skye's The Limit, Croesyceiliog
The Skye's The Limit is the leftmost of the two premises sharing this building on The Highway at the corner of Pettingale Road. It describes itself as a Hair Studio. Prominently displayed in white lettering on its window is 'Racoon Human Hair Extensions'. A Googol search reveals that 'With Racoon hair extensions there is no need to wait for your hair to grow before you can achieve the latest hair styles. In just 3 - 4 hours you can achieve 4 -5 years hair growth, helping you to create that celebrity look." Unfortunately, this appears to be intended for use by females who already have a full head of hair, rather than males with little or no hair remaining.
