In Keith Thomas's " Old Ebbw Vale in photographs" there is a photograph
of 33, Colliers Row, but I suspect it is the Colliers Row in
Newtown/Gantre/Newchurch area of Ebbw Vale. The caption is " 33,
Colliers Row-1909. Amelia Cooper stands in the doorway dressed in a
fresh white pinafore trimed with broderie anglaise. The roof has it's
original stone tiles, without guttering and to reduce the effect of roof
water a row of paving stones has been placed at the base of the walls.
The splashingwater gradually eroded the annual coat of whitewash."
Have you checked Keith Thomas's other books? here are a complete set of
volumes in Tredegar library.
