In 1804, author Charles Heath indicated that Monmouth was formerly divided into four parochial wards: Wye Bridge Ward, Castle Bailey Ward, Monnow Street Ward, and Over Monnow Ward. Glendower Street was split between two of the wards, with Castle Bailey Ward containing the left side of Grinder Street and Monnow Street Ward containing the right side of Grinder Street. The street now bears the anglicised version of the name of Welsh leader Owen Glendower (Owain Glyndŵr).{{cite web|title=History of Monmouth|url=http://www.monmouthrfc.com/pg_town_history|work=monmouthrfc.com|publisher=Monmouth Rugby Football Club|accessdate=3 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120531135126/http://www.monmouthrfc.com/pg_town_history|archive-date=31 May 2012|url-status=dead}}{{cite encyclopedia|title=Owen Glendower|url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/235266/Owen-Glendower|encyclopedia=britannica.com|publisher=Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc|accessdate=3 June 2012}} Glendower Street extends to the southeast from the intersection of Agincourt Street and St John's Street.{{cite web|title=Virtual Map of Monmouth|url=http://www.monmouth.org.uk/index.php/visitors/geography/virtual-monmouth-map.html|work=monmouth.org.uk|publisher=The Monmouth Website|accessdate=3 June 2012}} In 1960, the Monmouthshire County Council ordered that the two streets at the west end of Glendower Street both be made one-way streets, such that traffic proceeded on Agincourt Street from Agincourt Square to Glendower Street (west to east), and traffic proceeded on St John's Street from Glendower Street to Monnow Street (east to west).{{cite news|title=The London Gazette|url=http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/42180/pages/7307/page.pdf|accessdate=1 June 2012|newspaper=The London Gazette|date=28 October 1960|page=7307}} Since the Coflein listings, there has been at least a partial renumbering of the buildings on Glendower Street (see below).
