Hi all
In 1871 Thomas Carrington is living a couple of houses away from the New Inn (Thomas Wilcoxon) on Nant Road.
In 1881 I think the family is still living in the same house close to the New Inn except now the address is described as Carrington Row.
In 1891 Carrington Row seems to have disappeared. Thomas Carrington is now living on Manley Road - unclear if he has physically moved.
I can see Manley Road intersecting with Nant Road on today's maps but can anyone help pinpoint where Carrington Row would have been? Or know anything else about it for that matter?
Thanks Heather

Hi Heather, I am sure you will be getting some good info re your query but I can confirm Carrington Row existed in 1891 to 1894 according to Wes. Baptisms. and there are bapt. from at least 1890 up to the 1930's of people living in Manley Rd. which is still there.--Tom

Hi Tom
Thanks for taking an interest and especially the info about Carrington Row references in the Wes Baps. I think Thomas C must have "downsized" to a different house by 1891. At the moment our internet connection is wireless so it is a little slow to flip between the census pages.

According to JC Davies book , `the New Inn used to stand between the old English Chapel which is now a photographic studio and the Mission Room. There was a passage starting at the side of the New Inn going to High St which was known as the Shade.` The pub was demolished when the car park was made. I don`t know about a studio now, the book was written some time ago.

Hi When I was trying to pin down where my Gt Grandfather lived and had his shop (I never did confirm that ) I was told that The Prince Of Wales later became the New Inn.

The same book says that the name and licence were transferred to Prince of Wales.

Pubs and Inquests by J.Clifford Davies Prince Of Wales, High Street The Prince Of Wales was on the opposite side of the road to the Royal Oak and is now called the New Inn. [/i]
New Inn, Park Road The second New Inn stood between the English Congrgational Chapel and St John's Iron Church or as it was better known the Mission Room. Before the Mission Room was built in 1875 the road was called Nant Road. It was then named Church Street
