Title: Name of the gate?
Post by: roycymru on Friday 06 June 25 16:10 BST (UK)
Hello

Does anyone recognise or can interpret what the name of the toll gate listed in the Abode for the first entry in the attached. It looks like Osbrand but that can’t be correct and I can find no reference to such a named gate.

Thank you

It looks like Strand Gate

Just to add supporting evidence, there's a few references to the Strand Gate in the Swansea area in the Welsh Newspaper Archive
