Entrance arch to a former outdoor swimming pool, Pontnewynydd
Viewed across the Afon Lwyd from Mill Road. The inscription on the arch is
1915 AUDC SWIMMING BATHS. (AUDC = Abersychan Urban District Council).
There was formerly a footbridge across the river here which led into open-air swimming baths.
The baths were in use until the 1980s, whereafter the site was filled in and grassed over.
All that remains is this partly-overgrown entrance arch.
