Merthyr, Kirkhouse Annexe

[Stiobhán]

According to his death certificate my Great Grandfather died in 1944 in 'Kirkhouse Annex, Merthyr U.D.'. Does anybody have any information on this building? Thank you, Stiofán

Hi Stiofan (sorry - can't manage the accent on the 'a'),

  There is a photo of the Kirkhouse in the 1970s on this site:

Click on Dynevor Street on the site front page photo.

  The building later became a nightclub, also known as Koolers, but I'm afraid I can't help on its history or what it might have been in 1944. No doubt, others will be able to.

Thanks Gareth!
(Hold down alt gr and press the letter to get that accent!)
Best wishes, Stiofán
