"Your" Bridge Street is almost certainly in the City Centre Parish of St John i.e. not out in the Llandaff suburb.

Bridge Street {Heol Y Bont in Welsh} in the region of the Castle and St Mary's St has a post code of CF10 xxx....

There has been a fair amount of re-development in the area so houses have been pulled down and I suspect numbering is not what it was 100 years ago...
