Kears Row/Rhes Kears in Varteg

Row of houses below the east side of the B4246 Varteg Road. Coflein records that Kears Row (Rhes Kears in Welsh) was originally a row of four early 19th century houses built for workmen associated with Varteg Ironworks. The first edition Ordnance Survey shows a brewery at the end of the row, probably now the yellow house - the two houses on the left appear to be later additions to the row.
