Aha someone has beat me too it.

I was just talking to my sister again as my mum didn't know.  My sister said she remembered the pub from walking to my Great Aunty Hilda's who lived in Pant.  It was my great aunt's friends who told her abou the pub.

I've just found this site http://www.llanymynech.org.uk/ Llanymynech Community Project.  Has some old maps for the Pant/Llanymynech area from 1837 to 1986 (not all years).  Also some old photos.  A great site for anyone who's interested in the history of that area.  I'm saving it  ;D

The Lion at Llansantffraid south west of Oswestry also had a wet and dry bar on Sunday during the 1940's. However it clearly sits in Wales now, locals still refer to the English and Welsh bars.

Confused i am and my grandmother was the landlady!!

Could it be this one?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanymynech

"Llanymynech is a village straddling the border between Montgomeryshire/Powys, Wales and Shropshire, England about 9 miles (14 km) north of the Welsh town of Welshpool
slightly off the subject, but llanymynech has a golf course ( qiute good if you are a mountain goat ) one hole has a tee in wales and the green in england,( or  is it the other way round?)
