Junction of Graig Road and Tram Road, Upper Cwmbran
On the left, Tram Road heads towards Thornhill Road but only pedestrian access is possible at the end of the road, hence the No Through Road sign.
The sign on the right states that Graig Road is closed three-quarters of a mile ahead, but there is still access to the Bush Inn pub. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1639126

The Bush Inn, Upper Cwmbran
Little is known about the history of the Bush Inn. One possibility is that the pub originally consisted of two cottages which were linked to form the existing premises. The Bush Inn is shown on an 1860s OS map together with the now demolished Crown. There is an inn shown on an 1830s map, but it is unclear whether this was The Bush Inn or The Crown.
The Bush Inn , The Crown, The Squirrel (at the Square - now demolished) and The Queen http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1612705 were used by workers at the adjacent quarry, mine and brickyards, all now closed.

The Queen Inn, Upper Cwmbran
Located on Upper Cwmbran Road.
Which queen is the young woman shown on the inn sign? http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3239756
Based on the age of a few nearby properties, and a similar hairstyle in some of her early portraits, my guess is the young Queen Victoria, circa 1845. But that's only a guess...

Siloam Baptist Chapel, Upper Cwmbran
According to tradition, meetings of Baptists in the Upper Cwmbran area were held in people's homes until the chapel was built in 1838. This date follows very closely on the opening of the Porthmawr Colliery- better known locally as the Clay level- and the expansion of the brickworks.
