Ty Capel, Twyn Gwyn Road, Mynyddislwyn, Newport, NP11 7AU

This property is located in Mynyddislwyn, Newport, within the NP 11 postal district, an area linked historically to the Newport Poor Law Union.

The Newport Poor Law Union was a health and social security organisation formed on 1 August 1836 under the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834. It served the town of Newport in Monmouthshire and the surrounding parishes, comprising a total of 40 constituent parishes. The Union’s establishment reflected the 19th‑century efforts to centralise welfare provision across the region. Its historical presence indicates a long‑standing administrative structure that once coordinated local support for the poor. Today, the area retains the legacy of this organisation, which once played a key role in the community’s social fabric. The locality’s postal code NP 11 situates it within the broader Newport area, linking it to the town’s historical and administrative heritage.
