    3. Thanks Dave. Good, I had thought that this row would surely be the one. I couldn't see how Mill street could be anything other than this row since it was adjacent to the Mill.

Hi Seth, If you go to the 'Old Maps' website and search for 'Builth Wells' that will give you a map of Builth. Re-centre the map on the River Irfon about 300 metres south of Irfon Bridge, select the 1889-91 map of Breconshire and you will see the corn mill at Nant-yr-Arian with a row of cottages leading down the hill to it. http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html In Google maps you can search on 'Nantyarion' and get a street view of the cottages - which are still there: and very pretty too. I'll send you a couple of images off list. And to everyone else on the list - a very happy Christmas and New Year with especial thanks to John Ball for his endless hard work, patience and courtesy. Thanks John. Regards Dave in Oz Hi I had a relation who lived on Mill Street Nantyarian, just outside Builth (now spelt Nantyarion) in 1861 and 1871. I think that there was a row of cottages, with my ancestor being on the end, marked as being adjacent to a mill. I think the cottages would have been built in 18th century. I wonder whether anybody has any further ideas for sources of information on the Mill and the spot. I do not know if the mill or cottages still stand - though I suspect they may. The mill would be on the Irfon just a tiny distance south of Builth. Any suggestions appreciated.
