Can anyone tell me the location of Arcade Stores Caerphilly ?
This shop was I believe a grocers which  was run by a man called Daniel Llewelyn Thomas. His grave along with his family  is in the churchyard of Tonyfelin chapel.I got this address from the 1911 census.

Hi mirsuperstar
I think Arcade stores was in Castle street in Caerphilly (opposite the castle),
An old Francis Frith photo shows the street looking south from the memorial.

On a google new map, the Caerphilly workingmen's hall is number 28 and Coral Betting office is number 44a, so I expect yours was located inbetween - where the road junction is now?
