Hello all, I have found my Thomas family on the 1871 census, living at 143 Pentrepoeth. Can anyone tell me if that address still exists.
Another quick one.Does "The Farmers Arms" pub in Five Roads still exist?
Thanking you for any help.Completed

Hi, Try this on Google Maps - I also tried The Farmers Arms and several came up but none with Five Roads.

Pentrepoeth Road certainly still exists but I'm not sure on the house numbers.  One end of the road is made up of semi detatched houses and the other end is a terrace.  The houses seem to be much older at the terraced end. It is in the Felinfoel area of Llanelli.

Not sure about the pub in Five roads though.  Five Roads is only about 4 miles from Pentrepoeth Road in case you are interested.

Hi,

The Farmers Arms in Five Roads no longer exists as a public house and is now a private house.  It stands at the far end of the village on the B4309 from Llanelli to Pontiets/Carmarthen.  Of interest, there is a blue plaque (erected by Llanelli Community Heritage Group) on the wall of the house commemorating the fact that the Rebecca Rioters met there in 1843 when they were active in destroying toll houses/gates including Furnace Gate.  A good book to learn of the rioters and the problems of the time is The Hosts of Rebecca by the late Alexander Cordell.
