Old Malthouse, Llangattock

[Jowin]

On the 1881 census my grandmother,Florence Mary Cannon age 2yrs, was living with her family at the Old Malt House, Llangattock, Monmouthshire. Could anyone tell me if it is possible to obtain a photo of it or a web site where I can obtain information.

Not sure if it is still there, but will ask around as I don't live far away.  If it is I will get a photo for you, but it may not be for a little while as my camera is playing up!

If it isn't there I could take a photo of the pub or other local landmark if you like?

Let me know.

Regards

Julie

Hi Jowin

Just to let you know that I haven't forgotten about the photos.  The only Malt House in the area that I can find in exisitence is in Crickhowell, which is just over the river.  I can take a photo of that if you like, but I can't be 100% it is the right one . 

I can also take photos of the canal (specifically the bridge) which would have been around in your ancestors time, and the churches/chapels and pub if you like.   

The chapel is covered in scaffolding at the mo  so I can't tell exactly how old it is, and anyway it wouldn't make a very nice photo, but that is there as an option later on.

In the meantime this link may be of interest;

if it works...I'm not very technical  so I may have done that bit incorrectly, but the address is right.  I cut & pasted it so it should be ok

Let me know what you would like.

Regards

Julie

Hello Julie and Jowin

I  think that the Old Malt House referred to in the  1881 census was in Llangattock Juxta Caerleon some 20 miles from Crickhowell,Llangattock Parish Brecs.
Try a Google search. seems to be a Kitchen Centre nowadays.

Oh piffle

Might not be able to take any photos then - just when I thought I was going to be able to help someone else for a change

How certain are you Rhys?  I know you are really knowledgeable about the whole area - I'll be honest I am rubbish at geography - so I will abide by what you say  

(Just don't tell anyone else that I am willing to do as I am told , as it has never happened before and I don't intend to make a habit of it )

Rhys - thanks, just as well I didn't go knocking on any doors

Jowin - Sorry, did try, perhaps someone a bit nearer can help   That's assuming you want a photo of a kitchen centre
