[1] In 1868 49 freehold building plots 'in the midst of the celebrated lead-mine district' were put up for auction by the Owen Jones' Charity at the nearby City Arms Hotel, Minera.

[3] There were a number of public houses in the area from about 1870, including the White Lion Inn (of City Land, Minera),[4] the New Brighton Inn (also of City Land, Minera),[5] and the Rock Tavern - which was described in a dispute over renewal of its licence in 1895 as 'nothing more than a shanty on the side of the mountain, for the express purpose of catching the miners as they went home' - the licence was renewed on the basis that it was originally granted before 1869, which narrowed the options for refusing it.

The Welsh Independent Chapel built nearby at The Wern in 1805 was closed in 1975 and since demolished (thought the graveyard survives).

The chapel's records of deaths and baptisms survive (in the Bangor University Library) and contain the names and occupations of many from City Lands/New Brighton.

The former railway route that served the lead mines, and later the silica quarry, ran along the lower boundary of New Brighton, and is now a footpath that links the Minera Lead Mines Country Park to Minera Limeworks.
