From the Wikipedia article
Pontnewydd is a suburb of Cwmbran in the county borough of Torfaen, south-east Wales. It should not be confused with Pontnewynydd in nearby Pontypool. An 18th-century settlement within the historical parish of Llanfrechfa Upper, Pontnewydd became an important part of the Industrial Revolution in the Eastern Valley of South Wales. The canal, railway and river (Afon Llwyd) encouraged Victorian industries to flourish in this area which resulted in a steady rise in population. Pontnewydd is both a community and an electoral ward of Torfaen County Borough Council. The electoral ward also includes Northville. The community had a population of 4,954 in 2011 and includes the Sebastopol area of Pontypool.
