IN THE early nineteenth century, Molly Hanbury Leigh of Pontypool House introduced some regeneration and landscaping of Pontypool Park, including the building of the Shell Grotto, Rustic Arbour, picnic features along the brook, kitchen gardens and palm houses, a new stable block (now the museum) and other features - as was the garden fashion of the day. As part of the landscaping, it was decided that the forge in the park would have to be removed to another site and so it was closed down in the park (now the site of Pontypool RFC) and moved across the river to the town behind Osborne Road (the area now the site of Riverside car park and adjacent housing) – utilising the water from the Afon Lwyd, like its sister Osborne Forge further up river at Pontnewynydd.

3/14/2021 We Just Did What We Had To : Telling the Story of a Slovenian Partisan and a Kiwi POW Books by Doug Gold
Doug Gold is a retired broadcaster with a passion for historical and fact-based stories, and the author of Fun Is a Serious Business, a nonfiction account of More FM’s David-versus-Goliath success story. He is most recently the author of The Note Through the Wire: The Incredible True Story of a Prisoner of War and a Resistance Heroine.
The Note through the Wire is the true story of Josefine Lobnik, a Slovene resistance fighter, and Bruce Murray, a Kiwi prisoner of war – both complete strangers - who meet by chance when she passes a note through the wire of the local POW camp seeking information on her brother who had been captured by the Nazis. Against all odds, they discovered love in the midst of a brutal war in the heart of Nazi-occupied Europe.
