95 Silah Road Landore

[Shaztoni]

I have this picture of a woman standing outside a house. I know my family lived at 95 Silah Road at the time this picture was taken and wanted to find out if this was the house. I have tried googling but to no avail. Does anyone know what the houses on this street looked like at the turn of the century.

Hi,

Do you mean Siloh road in Landore? It's the only road that I  know of in  Landore Swansea which it may be.

 I'm from  Swansea, but  I can't be of any help regarding searching for old  photos of Siloh road for you other than via the internet like yourself (as I'm currently in Australia).

I've tried googling   for some old photo's of the road, but can't  find any  either , but I thought these below may be of some interest to you:

 It looks as if Siloh Road took a right old  bombing in WW11 , so how old some of those terraced homes on the road today are I don't know

This is a list of war dead, there are a few there who were killed at Siloh road.

http://www.fish4.co.uk/ls/nortiswls/homes/result?LOCATION=Landore ( estate agent site  which has pictures of some of the terraced houses on the road today. It may be worth emailing the estate agent and asking how old the terraced house  which they have listed on that road is,. Pretend you're an interested buyer or something looking for old property )

  Maybe  Swansea county hall  hold some old pictures etc  of Siloh road. It may be worth phoning or emailing them ( I see you are not in Wales)and see if they can help you or point you in the right direction.

Hope that is of some help

Thank you for that, I've found out that the family moved to Florence Street, so it may be that street instead.

Thanks again

Hi,

I took a photo of 95 Siloh Road today and tried to attach it, but I've just been timed out, so if you would like it, please send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will send it on.

I have to say though, it does not seem to be the same house as in the photo you posted, but if your family did live in 95 it might be of interest to you.

Bev.
