Title: "The Grove", Malpas, Newport
Post by: rickjt62 on Thursday 01 February 18 15:16 GMT (UK)
Hi
 
In the 1911 Census, members of my extended family lived in a 21-roomed house called "The Grove" at Malpas, Newport

I'm fairly familiar with Newport but have no idea where this house was or if it still exists

My family were still there in 1922

Anyone with knowledge of this property?

Thank you
Rich

Have you looked at the 1911 enumerators schedule which should give some idea where it is located in relation to other properties

The two residences next door are both "Grove Lodge", housing a coachman and a gardener

Then we have a labourer living in "a shed", now listed as Cwmbran

Other addresses are mainly individual houses (such as Bryn Glas), Malpas with no street address

There is/was a Grove Park just off the Pillmawr Road and now west of the A4042. Long time ago (50years) but I think there was a large house there also.

Thank you, yes

Appears to be Caerleon Road, hence the proximity to the Cwmbran shed

The Grove is on this 1936 map https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/331258/190439/12/100704

As Stan's map ref shows the Grove is just off the Pillmawr Road (sometimes called old roman road by locals) does lead to Caerleon. Not to be confused with the Caerleon Road which runs along the other side of the River Usk.
seems a lodge is still standing http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1745996
