| Bronllys in 1887 | ||
|
The image below is based on an Ordnance
Survey map published in 1887
at a scale of 25 miles to 1
inch. This big scale allowed the map makers to put a lot of
detail on the map. |

| We can see at a glance that the open field with strips, which was visible behind Neuadd on the tithe map, has by now been enclosed. While this may have made the land more productive it also meant that the poorer people of the village could no longer use the land for grazing. | ||

Bronllys had a school in 1839, but
the map above shows a new school by
the church. By this time all local children had an education. Whether
they enjoyed it or not the children would have found it better than working
long days on the land ! |
