Every occupant of Long Row houses, Forest Road houses, almost all of Castle Court and many of Park Street are employed in various occupations in the Tin Plate Works.  Men and women employees ages range from 14 years – 80 years.  Many cottages in Long Row house families of eight or nine people.  In number 26 lives Thomas Jones, a Tinplate Shearer, with his wife and six children: Eleanor (19), Mary Ann (16) both Tinplate Openers; Sarah Jane (14), Margaret (18)  a Tinplate Dipper with her two sons aged seven and five.  Next to them Evan Davies a Tin Noaler with his wife and 4 children.  Then in no. 28 Benjamin Nurse a Tinplate Parter with his wife, four children, a lodger with his wife.  At no. 30 Long Row lives a gardener, a Mr Baker with his wife and five children two of them employed in the Tin Works.

Would love to get a shot of this street without cars.
