Like
neighbouring Oddfellows Street, Pelican Street stretched right
across the "island" from the canal to the river as
can be seen from this 1877 O.S. map. The building at the right
hand end of the street marked with a "B" is the Butchers
Arms. Across the street from this once stood a grocer's shop,though
this has long since gone.At the other end of the street stood
a Temperance House.

This photograph of Pelican Street from Brynygroes farm shows
the footbridge over the canal from Brynygroes cottages. The roofline
of the end cottage is just visible in the foreground.
This photograph, taken from the canal end of the street shows
the row as it was at the end of 1998.
