E Row houses, Forgeside, Blaenavon
The houses were built in 1850s for workers at the nearby ironworks and pits.
Anyone unfamiliar with the area would be confused to find houses numbered 1,2,3 etc on both sides of the street. The explanation is that the rows of houses are named, not the street itself.
These are houses on E Row, numbered from 17 to 1 in increasing distance from the camera. They face houses out of shot on the left in D Row, numbered 16 to 1. C Row survives, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2850617 but A Row and B Row were demolished in the 1970s.
