Pontycymer is a former mining village in Wales. It is situated in the Garw Valley, in Bridgend County Borough, about 7 miles or 11 km north of the town of Bridgend. The name is Welsh: pont means "bridge" and cymer means "confluence", i.e. where two streams or rivers meet.
Older signs for the village use the spelling of Pontycymmer; as with many other place names in Wales a double "mm" was historically included as an Anglicised spelling, but the modern Welsh spelling uses a single "m". Recent signage and Post Office records have now been changed to reflect the original Welsh spelling. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontycymer)
