Does anyone recognise this street name from the 1861 census for Llanfihangel-y-Traethau please?

Based on other words on the cusnus page, I think the first letter is a T making it Tronyw. I was hoping if anyone from the area recognised the street name

I think  the 'T' in 'Traethau' at the top of the page is different from the initial letter of the word.  More likely it's 'Fronwy' with  an 'F' - especially No. 7 which has a definite cross stroke on the letter.

Perhaps it's in the village of Talsarnau - which is part of Llanfihangel y Traethau.

This shows a recent house sale with that address:

I've just been looking up the description of the enumeration district for the census page and it includes the village of Talsarnau, so it looks like it is Fronyw.

I had the wrong street name and the wrong village name

Thanks for you help Gallium and Lazylover
