Hi llangatwg and Morgan,

The New Buck is now called no 57 Bannau and is owned by Christ College Indep School as accommodation. It is a double fronted house about 8 houses nearer to Brecon than The Three HorseShoes and about opposite the car park next to Llanfaes chip shop.

All the best,

Cochiaid

i think this house is also owned by the college.

I have lived in Brecon for 20 years and spent the first 4 years in Llanfaes. So I am not Brecon by birth.
