Brynyffynnon - named after the former farm on whose land it was built - was one of the last parts of Penygraig estate to be built, going up in the late 1960s to replace the group of pre-fabricated houses which were put up here to meet a housing shortage a couple of decades before.

(Some of those houses can be seen in outline in the lower left of this picture).

It comprises a mixture of terraced houses, bungalows and flats. Above is the road entrance from Offa Street.
