In 1836 owned by Isaac Jones with David Jones, auctioneer, tenant of the tavern, and Rees Jones, currier and leather-cutter tenant of the garden. Inn was tenanted by Edward Davies, auctioneer, from 1850 and by Miss Sarah Davies in late C19.

The windows are uPVC replacements for former 12-pane sashes, and the windows are set to right to allow for large kitchen fireplace which has a very small window at ground floor left. Wide centre doorway with C20 panelled door, formerly 4-panel.
