Wyllie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wyllie is a small village south of Blackwood, Wales in the county borough of Caerphilly. Most of the houses were built between 1926-1930 by the Tredegar Iron and Coal Company. The village takes its name from Alexander Keith Wyllie, the company's director.

Included in the village was a large church, post office and village institute which was converted into a pub in the 1990's. The post office has recently closed and the church has been replaced by a small block of apartments known as Marion Jones Court. The pub "The Islwyn Inn" does an excellent Sunday lunch. The village has recently expanded with the building of new houses on the old coal tip from Wyllie Colliery at the south end of the village.
