hi
I am trying to help my mum. she is tracing a road in Merthyr which was called wind street. We can not find it on any currents maps so guessing the name of the road has changed. WE believe it may be near to balaclava road.
Can any ne please help us with this?
Many thanks

Hello I believe it was pulled down in the 1970's redevelopment of DOWLAIS and PENYDARREN but not certain?. There is a photo of the street on this website it is on page 2 of photo's of DOWLAIS town page.

thank you Mike. I've seen the picture on the website and I've googled old maps of the area. it looks like it is now where Bryn Carwyn is. My granddad grew up there and my mum is visiting Merthyr in March and wanted to visit the street as she also went there loads as a child.
thank you for your help.

Possibly Windham Street, now called Glendower Street, just off Balaclava Road. Show on OS 25in plan www.old-maps.co.uk. Gwenfro |
