Can anyone tell me where Twyn Y Wain is please as I have come across this street address when researching ancestors?
I think it may have been or still is in Dowlais.

Put Twyn Y Waun into Google & it comes up with a selection; one being a street map showing it as an area of Merthyr. Pick 'search the web' selection in Google as it appears not to recognise Wales in the selection for UK pages.

I think I have found it on the Alan George website of Old Merthyr Tydfil via Pant Y Waun www.alangeorge.co.uk/pantywaun.htmThere is an old OS map dated 1930 and Twyn Y Waun is near Dowlais Top. As the reference is to open cast mining in the area I suspect it may have been lost like Pant Y Waun appears to have. |

Twyn Y Wain was situated not far from Dowlais Top I believe that there was a sort of open cast mine there and was involved in the scotch cattle attacks that occurred in the 1830's. There was a few cottages in the area as these I believe where attacked and damaged during the out breaks.
