It seems I can answer my own question. Looking at the large scale CCBC plan,

Where can you see this map Dave?

I downloaded it from somewhere, think its the Local Development Plan map. Will see if I can remember where I got it from - it's very detailed.

EDIT: Here is an interactive version of the whole County - you can zoom right down to individual house level.

It seems I can answer my own question. Looking at the large scale CCBC plan, it would seem that Augusta Passage ran for a hundred feet or so and connected with the end of Charlton Street. But when was it blocked up? Is it officially closed or just a landowner putting a gate across?

Dave
It was blocked up about ten years ago because of anti-social behaviour late at night.  Basically it was being used as a toilet by late night revellers caught short while waiting for their kebabs from the Godfather or their chips from Becky's.  There is an entrance to the flat above Nicki Charles Hair Salon (Formerly West End Cycles) down the alley and I think it was Mostyn Estates that instigated the gate.  Jack

Carry on Merddin!   That's a good title for a film!   Just don't become too infatuated with Back Passages or it could lead to a career in the Prostate Department of the local hospital!     L0L

there was a passage on Gloddaeth Avenue between Clifton and Maelgwyn roads, I had a look on Google earth but it appears to have been blocked up

It was probaly what is now Breton Street, off Lloyd Street, which comes out on Clifton Road near the Gloddaeth end.

It was  a very narrow passage between two houses on Gloddaeth Avenue just past the corner shop, I can't remember where it led to but remember wheeling my bike down there. Looking at Google earth it looks as though it  was blocked up at the end of Breton street by "Snug Cottage"
