The Stephens family could not possibly have lived in the terrace because it was not built until the 1880s. And I don't mean the buildings below the house, which were once a bakery and a cobblers, but the house foundations and tumbled stones that believe me still exist to the rear of the terrace, which was named in recognition of Alltfechan itself. Incidentally you may be interested to know that one half of Alltfechan Terrace - nearest the road and immediately in front of the Alltfechan remains - is now occupied by the premiere traditional singer in Wales, Julie Murphy and her partner Ceri Rhys Matthews, a multi-instrumentalist and producer who is largely reponsible for some of the best traditional music currently being produced in Wales. They have researched and revisited the songs of the immediate area around Pencader, some of which the Stephens family would known and maybe remembered as they walked 1,000 miles from the Missouri River to Salt Lake in 1866.
