Information about Pontypool, UK
Pontypool (Welsh: Pont-y-pŵl) is a town of approximately 36,000 people in the county borough of Torfaen, within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire in South Wales[1][2].
Today Pontypool is regenerating itself and may be seen as a dormitory town for its southern neighbours Cwmbran and Newport. There is a folly there. It is one of the goals of the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway.
It is situated on the Afon Llwyd river in the county borough of Torfaen. Although situated on the edge of the South Wales coalfields, Pontypool is regarded as an industrial town with former industries including iron and steel production, coal mining and the growth of the railways. A rather artistic manufacturing industry which also flourished here alongside heavy industry was Japan or lacquer ware.
Between 1996 and 1998 a new bypass was built in the town that completely diverted traffic from the town centre. This added to the decline of many years and much of the old town centre was abandoned by both visitors and businesses. In 2003 plans were drawn up to regenerate the town centre and today the town boasts a Tesco superstore; a redeveloped Crane Street (one of the principal shopping streets) and new shop units including Argos, Peacocks, Farm Foods & Wilkinson. The Kwik Save store has now become a New Look store. The once famous Clarence Hotel is being dragged out of decades of abandonment [1] and is being converted into flats and offices [2]. In April 2006 a new Lloyds No.1 pub was opened on Osborne Road and named in honour of John Capel Hanbury, former owner of Pontypool Park House (now St. Alban's R.C. High School).
The leisure centre in Pontypool Park has just finished being refurbished and extended to provide first class facilities for the surrounding area.
Prescoed Prison is located on the outskirts of Pontypool. It was originally constructed as a borstal in 1939, but has since held a variety of different types of prisoners. Today, Prescoed is an open prison holding Category D adult male inmates.
