Usually, http://www.streetmaps.co.uk is good for this sort of thing. Sadly, on this occasion, it's not much use. Roads around that location are, mostly, unnamed on their maps. Looking at the relevant places in the 1881 Wales census shows that Colliery Row runs from pages 5 to 11 in the returns. None of which, I'm sorry to say, is of much help to you. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Love is a temple, love is a shrine You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart - Eurythmics
