The Polo Ground in the village of New Inn (known previously as Pontypool Road on old maps) was situated off the west side of the High Way (modern day Highway) and the northern side of New Road.

[1] The grounds were used for coursing and pony races and was home to the Wanderers Polo team at the end of the 19th century.

The local schools of New Inn, Pontymoile, Griffithstown and Sebastopol used the Polo Ground before the second world war as did the Pontypool Road Cricket Club.

This accommodation was later used as New Inn Camp 677 to house German and Italian prisoners of war (PoW).

[3] The greyhound track was referred to as Pontypool Road as was the village for a time due to the rail station being close to the grounds.
