Lesley,

Within this link: https://wikishire.co.uk/wiki/Taibach you will find a reference to Constantinople Row in Taibach.

A couple of old maps of Taibach - Constant isn't marked. However, Underhill House, Dormitory Row and Groeswen Row are marked (named on '81 Census) -

There is a Constant Road in Margam opposite Taibach Community Centre but it looks like the houses were built in the 1930s and later

Here is a side-by-side view showing Constant Row on a 6 inch OS map and a modern satellite view. The M4 goes right through where Balaclava Row was, and you can see that the line of Caradoc Street is preserved.It looks to me as if the Wales Coastal Path, which is the feature running parallel with the motorway through the trees to the east, follows the line of Constant Row. I wonder if there are any traces left?

Here is an overlay view of Constant Row and a satellite image, confirming that the Coastal Path does follow the line of the street.
