To its left on Brewery Street are the buildings of Fernvale Brewery, the low pale (cream) building with a semi circular front was the cinema 'The Bug', and the Penrhys Hotel next, all demolished and occupied by modern housing. Baglan leads from outside the cinema up to Madeline Street and Tanybryn.
