I am appealing to Listers who have knowledge of Aberystruth local
history/geography to help identify the location of the following addresses:
Wimberry Row (aka Whimbery), Shrubbery Row, etc...
===================

Dear Cecil,

Winberry Row and Shrubbery Row were just north of Blaina village in the area
now known as Cwm-celyn. Winberry Row was at Ordnance Survey coordinates
320270,209195.

You can call up a highly detailed (1:10,560-scale) late 19th century (1886)
map of this area by going to the Old Maps website at www.old-maps.co.uk/
On the main page, select the "Co-ordinates" option in the search facility
(near top left of the page). In the search field enter the co-ordinates
320270,209195 (without any spaces) and click the Search button.
When the small map appears, click on the "Enlarged view" button below the
map. A highly detailed large map of the area will open in a new window,
centred on 'Winberry Row'.
'Bumblow' (Bumble Hole?), 'Dol-y-Garn' (Dab-y-Garn), and 'Berea Chapel' are
also shown.

'Whinberry Row' is also shown on a modern (circa 1998) street map of Blaina,
near the junction of Pant View with Attlee Road in Coedcae (between Blaina
and Nantyglo).

Kind regards,

John
