Carmarthenshire / Re: Pontyberem Pubs

Hi Roy,
I am the current landlady of New Lodge Inn & have some information.
The land was leased from the church by Seth Morgan in 1876 to build a public house & dwelling which is the middle part of the pub as it stands today with the original cellar drop outside. Over the next few years he added a cottage on each side & built the stables, club house and lodgings which still stand today. Back then a steam ran between the two buildings.

In 1895 Thomas Morgan (19) keeper of New Lodge Inn, Pontyberem was charged with being in possession of unjust measures (too big) and obstructing an inspector whilst discharging his duty.
in 1898 Seth Morgan sold all the buildings to Buckleys Brewery.

I'm not sure how long the Aubrey's lived at New Lodge Inn. I know they were still there in 1916 when their youngest William died & John Aubrey died in 1921.
The stream was diverted in 1925 and and we have proposed plans from 1962 converting the upstairs into one residence but still with one cottage downstairs on the righthand side (shop?). I don't know if this ever happened, it is all one building upstairs and now. The building was extended in 1973 & 1977 and Buckley's sold it to Jim in 1987 but I know he had been the landlord for many years by then.
I'd love to know if anyone has more information to fill in the gaps.
Regards
Sam
