  1. The monumental inscriptions for the older graves are at Gwent Archives in Ebbw Vale but the register for the 1800's is lost. There is a booklet about the history of the chapel at Gwent Archives.The log book of the school at New Bethel is also at Gwent Archives.

  1. My Father-in-law Bill Porter did guard duty here during the war. There were no guns available so he was given a broom handle. "Halt who goes there " he said several times on hearing footsteps in the darkness. As the person approached he stuck the broom handle in his bulging midriff. It was Dr. Evans, who replied "Get out the way you silly fool"

  2. These falls are close to where the weir is now located, behind the petrol station and Ford garage, at the end of Tram Rd. At the top of the banking is the old railway line. This banking was removed when the railway line was removed, so these falls are close to where the footbridge is now located
