This previous thread claims that:

"Apparently Bird's Nest was a group of two cottages, within the parish of Clyro, Radnorshire."

The address(es) still exist as "Upper Bird's Nest" and "Lower Bird's Nest".Go to www.old-maps.co.uk, and enter the search term-Upper Birds Nest.Choose the only option.When the current map has loaded you can choose from the drop down list on the right to view in historical context.
