Hello Alec, I have a street map and index of Presteigne and have been looking through it. Here are all the "Streets" of Presteigne: Broad Street, Ford Street Hereford Street High Street St Davids Steet Scottleton Street I also have ancestors from Presteigne so am very interested in the town. My maternal ancestors are all from around this area of North Herefordshire/Shropshire and Presteigne, so we have visited on a few occasions to search out more information. If you would be interested I could scan the map of Presteigne and send you.
