Folly View houses, Pontypool
Houses on the north side of Folly View, near the Channel View end.
I reached this point after a long, steep climb up from the central shopping area of Pontypool, so it's not surprising that views abound hereabouts!

Entrance to American Gardens, Penygarn, Pontypool
This entrance from Channel View into American Gardens is at the NW edge of Pontypool Park.
New World imports include giant redwoods from California and monkey puzzle trees from Chile. Monkey puzzles (Araucaria araucana) now common in the UK, were a novelty when planted here in the 1850s, when the site was known as the American Grounds.

Site of demolished Trevethin Community School, Pontypool
One derelict building remains on the site of the demolished school on the west side of Penygarn Road.
The school closed in 2007 despite local protests which included hundreds of people marching through Pontypool town centre, and the lobbying of Torfaen County Borough Council and National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff.
