Re "Fair Lodge" as a "lodge/farm" still puzzled by the following

Hereford Journal, Wed 7 October, 1807
"Sunday Schools have been lately opened at Rumney, near Tredegar, Monmouthshire and at Fair Lodge, Heol Galed, Cwm-Ammon, and Cwm-Keep, in the parish of Llandilo-vawr".

Re the '51 Census, on the next census page after Fair Lodge is "Lovelodge Mill".

"Old Maps"  http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html

coordinates are  262763   221487    and when loaded, choose "1884-1887 Map" of Carmarthenshire. Wonder if "Fair Lodge" disappeared under the railway development?

The "Llanelly Railway and Dock" planning application was published several times in the London Gazette and mentions a "Fair Lodge, Llandilo Fawr". It's just a pity the plans that accompanied the application weren't published!!
(use search key "caepontledis" rather than "fair lodge" to reduce "hits")

Slater's Directory of Glos, Herefs ..... 1859 mentions a "Rev Morgan Morgan, Fair Lodge, Llandilofawr".

Couldn't see it on the OS 1891 map- but have only checked grid ref 033/SE.

The London Daily News 4 April 1870
"................................. The Hon Mrs Glyn is establishing a brigade of boys for cleaning doorsteps, areas and pavements. It is to be organised, we believe, on the pattern of the Shoeblack brigade and is to be called "The Door-step Brigade ..........................".

Morning Post 23 Jan 1879
The House-Boy Brigade
"The ninth annual meeting in connection with this excellent and prospering institution......... The House-Boy Brigade, originally named "The Door-step Brigade" was set on foot nine years ago ,,,,,,"

THE TIMES, 25 Dec 1883
Wear Shipbuilding in 1883
".................................. Mr James Laing, of Deptford, Sunderland has during the year launched 9 vessels with a gross tonnage of 22,877 tons. Among the vessels sent out by him was the Nebo, a fine screw steamer, built to the order of Messrs Pinkney and Sons, of Sunderland which was lost with all hands only a few months after she was launched.................................."

An ill fated name

Sunderland Daily Echo & Shipping Gazette, 4 Feb 1884
"There was launched from the yard of James Laing, Deptford, Sunderland on the 29th ult, a steamer built to the order of Messrs D G Pinkney and Sons.................
The christening of the vessel was very gracefully performed by Miss Pinkney, daughter of the senior partner, who named her the Nebo........................................"

The owners of the Nebo that disappeared April 1883 were Pinkney and Sons.
