Llanfrynach in 1886 | ||
The map below is a section of a map
made at a scale of 6 inches to
1 mile in 1886. |
||
|
The map shows
the village to have changed very little
since 1840. The big houses are still there and there has not been a big
extension of the village. The White Swan and Victoria Inn are still open for business and so is the canal. By this time traffic on the canal would have been much less than in earlier years as the new railways took much of its trade. |

1. Although the 1841 census tells us there was a school here at the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign, by the time this map was made all the local children would have attended the village school. | ||
2.
The map shows one new property which was not there in 1840. To
the south of the village we can see that Llan-brynean
has been built. .. |
