8-11 Newtown, Aberystwyth Road, Cardigan
There used to be a small roadside building at this location which bore an Ordnance Survey benchmark on its North-west face, at the North angle, which replaced the pivot benchmark near the road junction, to the South-west.
Benchmark height: 113.9' OD (Liverpool)
The mark was included on the Aberaeron to Carmarthen secondary line of the Second Geodetic Levelling of England & Wales in 1927-1928. It was levelled with a height of 114.05' above OD (Newlyn). Abstract A 471: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C11178815 [OS 54/136].
The mark was, in turn, replaced by a rivet on the wall behind the gate-pier, at Delfan, South-west of the junction.

Old house in Feidrhenffordd
This house displays the banded-stone building technique that was used in this region for centuries. It is an attractive old place that could once have been a farm. The town expanded in this direction, northwards from its original nucleus around the bridge and the castle, during the last 3 decades of the C19 and became New Town.
A glance at the map explains the name of the street, which means old-road-lane: before the by-pass it was the route that connected Cardigan and Llangoedmor to the southeast. It is now a cul-se-sac with the new road cutting across the end.
