Padre Pio RC primary school, Pontypool
Located on the south side of Conway Road. The school is named after Saint Pio of Pietrelcina (1887– 1968), an Italian Capuchin priest who was canonised by Pope John Paul II in 2002.
The school opened in September 2008, with a transfer of pupils from the now-closed Catholic primary schools of St Alban and St Francis. The £3½ million project was financed jointly by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cardiff, the Welsh Assembly Government and Torfaen Council.
The school has many modern features such as interactive whiteboards in every classroom and a high definition video conferencing unit. There is an outdoor sports playing field, a facility absent from the two previous schools. Environmentally 'green' features include the collection of rain water to flush toilets and a biomass boiler to heat the building.

Rugby mosaic, George Street, Pontypool
The mosaic http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2393145 is on the George Street side of the A4043 underpass.
Completed in 1993, the mosaic depicts composite scenes of a manoeuvre in a rugby match between Pontypool RFC (in red,white and black kit), and one of their main rivals, Newport RFC. Pontypool RFC are depicted scoring a try at the end of the manoeuvre.
Also depicted, on the left side of the mural, are players from the earlier years of Pontypool RFC, which dates its origins to 1868, though there is no surviving documentation to substantiate the date.
