Once you followed Shirley's suggestion, you might have to contact the local archive or main library. They may be able to tell you if the house numbers have been changed over the years.

They could also back-track on ER which can only be searched by address (war years excluded) or trade directories. They will probably make a charge for this

If you put 10 Brewery Street,Pontygwaith South Wales into google then click on the photo that says Street View. This takes you to no 26. If you travel to the right and keep clicking on the houses you will find no 10 three doors away from the house on sale. No 11 is a light coloured house so I assume no 10 is to the right of it.
This does say it is Brewery Rd though so perhaps not what you are looking for.
