History
House, probably later C18, former residence of owners of Llandovery Brewery. Ty Cerrig or Tir y Cerrig was a gentry estate held in the early C17 by the Berkeley family. The house became divided from the lands, and was probably rebuilt in front of the old farmhouse by John Rolley owner in the late C18. Then owned by Samuel Price, postmaster, 1810, and by William Williams, maltster, 1830, who converted the earlier house to a malthouse and built No 40 next door. Rowland Williams his heir died in 1856, and the brewing business was run by John Lewis as tenant, renamed the Llandovery Brewery by 1875, taken over by Thomas Watkins 1877, and run by the Watkins family until the later 1930s and then by other concerns.
