	Sandy Hole is written on the 1901 census form in the column for street or name of house. It is in the same column as the names of certain farms and cottages. Next door is somewhere called Brickhouse, then Dingle, then Myndrithon, then Folly Farm and Crossway (all in New Radnor area). If you can find any of these still around (possibly the farms) you should be able to find the area. Kath. x
