Hanbury Rd - Bargoed (c.1940's)

Bargoed / Bargod

(bargod)

This means 'boundary' - the river formed the boundary between two areas of land many years ago. The word 'bargod' can mean eaves but in this context means 'boundary'; the 'e' has been mistakenly inserted into the name by mapmakers over the years as if the word derives from 'coed' meaning wood - as in other local names that refer to wood such as Hengoed and Argoed.
