Pond Row in Ebbw Vale
« on: Saturday 18 January 14 02:52 GMT (UK) »
This is for any Ebbw Vale historians on here:  Where about in Ebbw Vale would Pond Row have been located?

I was reading about the Ebbw Vale Forge School and it sort of sounds like Pond Row may be what is now called Holland Street. I'm not sure if this is correct or not.

I had some Welsh ancestors that lived at 37 and 41 Pond Row back in the 1880s while they work at the steel plant and I am planning a trip to Wales and England next year and would like to drive through what was their old neighborhood.

Thanks.

Go to www.old-maps.co.uk and use the postcode NP23 6AD as the search term(currently Holland Street as you said).
Click on the only option presented and when the map loads choose the 1880 1:2500 map from the drop down list.Use in built magnifier or Windows zoom to enlarge.Pond Row is behind School Row near the marked Girls School.
