Eastern side of West Monmouth School, Pontypool
Viewed from Victoria Road. The school, on the north side of Blaendare Road, opened in 1898 as Jones’ West Monmouth School. With funds provided by the Haberdashers' Company, it was built as a boys' private day and boarding grammar school. It became a local authority grammar school in 1957 and a mixed comprehensive in 1982.
Surprisingly for such a fine building, it was not until 1997 that it was Grade II listed.

St Matthew's Church, Pontypool
There was a time, decades ago, when prefabricated corrugated-metal churches ("tin churches") were a common sight in many parts of the UK. Many have now been replaced by more modern buildings, but in Pontypool, two remain in use within about a kilometre of each other.
This one, on Victoria Road, is St Matthew's Church, Pontymoile, a Church in Wales church, diocese of Monmouth.
The other one is Race Methodist Church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2452335 in Upper Race.
