Lloyds TSB, Hanbury Road, Pontypool
Maps I've consulted don't agree on where Hanbury Road ends and Commercial Street begins, and none of them appear to record the true situation. The local AZ street atlas, online Ordnance Survey map and Streetmap all put these bank premises in Commercial Street, yet the bank's address (and that of the premises directly opposite) is Hanbury Road.

Pearl Assurance House, Pontypool
The building in central Pontypool, facing Glantorvaen Road, has seen better days.
Its tatty appearance, and the number of derelict properties (such as the two on the left) give much of central Pontypool a rundown appearance.
