The houses were privately owned. The road originally led solely to Brynglas House on top of the hill. A council estate, Brynglas Drive, was later added. It consists mostly of post-war concrete-structured housing originally built and owned by Newport Corporation. Most of the housing is now privately owned but Newport City Council still owns some.
In 2009 Newport City Council transferred ownership of its social housing and most of the land it owned in the area to Newport City Homes, a housing association. The estate was built around the 17th-century parish church of St David in Bettws, which is the likely origin of the name 'Bettws', a place of prayer or private chapel.
The house was bought by Newport Corporation for £3,250 for use as judges' lodgings in March 1939. [3] Until that time the Monmouthshire Assizes were held at the Shire Hall, Monmouth, some 25 miles from Newport via a slow winding road. [5] The quarter sessions were held at the Sessions House, Usk some 11 miles from Newport. [6]
