Monmouthshire / Re: Llanbadoc Inn and Usk

Thanks for getting in contact, good to be in touch with someone who now lives in the old pub.
I was recently doing some research at the newspaper library and came across an article in the Monmouth Advertiser of 1890, my Great Grand Uncle jumped from the garden wall of the Britannia Inn to save a drowning child from 2 Bridge Cottages Llanbadoc. Reginald Roberts was only 11 and received a commendation from the Usk Odd Fellows and a testimonial from the Royal humane Society.
I will try and sort out any other newspaper articles I have that are connected with the Britannia.
