Online Street Plan of Cardiff, 1930
« on: Thursday 09 August 12 12:26 BST (UK) »
I have now uploaded a 1930s street plan of Cardiff for the benefit of those with family interests in the city. The link is http://www.artus-familyhistory.com/source/Early%20Maps.html
The original map was poorly produced, with many street names being difficult to decipher and some illegible. However, I am working on rectifying this, and the maps will improve over time.
There are also quite a few other street plans available for viewing.
Regards.

This is great and I shall watch with interest, looking for Tudor street which I now understand has been pulled down.

Many thanks

Axe Calibre. Tudor Street is shown in the SW (bottom left) section of the map. I have reconstructed a little of the area, the better for you to locate it. It lies just below the final R of River Taff.

Tudor Street is still there; some buildings have obviously been knocked down and replaced but if there's anything in particular you're looking for, let me know and I'll have a look
