Where was Office Square, Michaelston Super Avon, Glamorgan

I Have the above address for my James Caleb Alford in 1891 and have read the decription of the district.. checked the district in later years and it appears to be Port Talbot area covered by Neath.
Has anyone any idea where Office Square would be.. it is Post Office Sqare in 1911.

Thank you Morganllan
That is the place.. just been on street map to have a look.. the post office is in a row of terraces.. but must be the one.. somehow I was expecting to see a square.. but may have been at one time..
Interesting article on Genuki... I will have to use it from now on
Thanks again
Colin

Hi Colin

Genuki is a brilliant resource and I find the maps section very useful. You get links to current maps and old maps of the same area, so sometimes find old street names.

Best Wishes
