Lion Street, Brecon

[chrisgodden]

This is the first time I have contacted anyone about Lion Street, Brecon.  My grandmother, Rosa Price, lived at Cantre-Selyf in Lion Street in the 1900's.  Any information anyone may have about the house or the family would be helpful. Thank you

Thank you for the information.  I can see that it is a large property so my grandmother may have been in service there.  I understand it has been a bed and breakfast but is now closed.

Take a look at the 19th advert in column 2 "Wanted good plain cook also parlourmaid....."

Also 5th column advert 13 https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4188077/4188078/3/

There seem to be a few ads in 1906 if you type in "cantre selynn, lion strtee, brecon" into search box at Welshnewspapersonline site

Probably a different person but I hope you won't mind me asking. My grandfather's sister was a Rosa Price born Llanfihangel Talyllyn in 1881. Do you have dates for your Rosa?
