You'll find the Old Merthyr Tydfil website is an absolute goldmine. Some of the links that Google offers don't seem to work, but this link gets you in:

There's a useful forum, too.

Another avenue of approach: Merthyr Library has knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Hello  :)

Not sure about earlier but there is a map 1875-6 on Old Maps:

You can also buy and download historical maps from the Cassini website.

Best Wishes
