Hi Susan, I think that Colliers Row was on the opposite side of the river where Grove Road is now. On a map dated 1902 it was down as Old Colliery Row.

Hiya. I've just come across this great site. I am Dot Chicks granddaughter. My grandfather Douglas Chick passed away in 1993. There is also a Chick family in Abercarn.

There was a Margery Hoskins in my class at Waunfawr and I used to deliver the Argus for Bertha Chick who was always sat outside Joe's cafe on the corner. There was also a chick family in Salisbury Street.
