Thanks everyone for your messages on Hall's Road, but is'nt it strange, I lived in No. 2 Hall's Road until 1950, when I was 15 years old. I still have documents that refer to this address but I now believe the correct address should have been Hall's Road COTTAGES.
There was only 4 cottages in total, located between Crosskeys railway station and the canal. Access was via a steep lane approximately 100 yards down from Crosskeys Corner, over the station railway bridge and over a second railway line.
I have been back there a few times in recent years but the cottages have long been demolished.
THE Hall's Road is still there to the north of the village above High Steet before getting to Pontwaun.

Is this the same group of houses labelled as Rees Row on the 1879 map ?

See http://www.crosskeys.me.uk/location/xkeys1879.htm

Thank you for that information. I didnt realise that map existed. If Rees Row refers to the small block between the RH railway line and the canal, south of the station, then the cottages I refer to could well have been called Rees Row. They were certainly very primative, having no form of internal services, ie water, lighting or sanitation.

Hi Peter
My father was born at 2 Halls road Crosskeys in 1917. I know that my Grandfather and his family lived there until at least 1935 when he died.I am trying to trace my family history so if anyone would like to share any informaation or photos etc of Halls Road it would be much appreciated. I am quite willing to share what information I have.
Cheers
Barry
