Help needed with a street name

[debh]

Hiya

my family moved from Redruth to Merthyr and in the 1871 & 1881 census they were at an address that I think reads Temperance Street.

Does anyone have any photographs of this place or just some kind of idea about what it looked like or where it was or is would be really good.

Thanks a million

Deb

Hello,

You could have a look on our 'Streets Index' you can click this link to access the page:
www.alangeorge.co.uk/STREETS.htm

I had a quick look and there is two Temperance Streets, one listed in Glebelands and one Caepantywyll.

If you scroll down the list which goes in alphabetical order you'll be able to get more information on the 2 streets.

Hope this helps,

Lloyd.

Thanks for your reply - I've had a look at the 1871 census and can see the the streets that appeared immediately before Temperance St were Victoria St & Wellington St.

On your list of Streets, Wellington St is linked with Caedraw, but Victoria St isn't... is Caedraw near either of the areas you mentioned in your reply?

I'd love to know if any of the streets are still standing, to get a feel of how my family lived. I'm just of J48 of M4 so if they're still there it won't take me very long to come and have a look.

Hello,

Both streets were very close to Caedraw, unfortunately all were been demolished in the 1960s / 1970s.

Hope this helps,

Lloyd.

Hello,

We have pictures of Caedraw:

We also have pictures of Wellington Street:

But we do not know of any pictures of Temperance Street. You could enquire at Merthyr Central Library, although we have not seen any pictures of the street there. Their email address is:
