Griffithstown, Monmouthshire

Griffithstown is a large village or a small town in Monmouthshire, now sometimes considered a southern suburb of Pontypool. It is named after the first station master of Pontypool and New Inn railway station, Henry Griffiths. Griffiths founded a 'terminating' Building Society to finance the construction of houses in the village so that his workforce could become freehold owner-occupiers. The village is within the council area of Torfaen.
