Black Lion Inn, Llansawel
« on: Saturday 08 March 08 11:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi, Can anyone pass on any info about this pub please?

My Gt Gt Grandmother gives it as her residence at time of marriage (1856).  The family certainly dont own it, she must have been working & living there.

I have googled it and it seems to still be open.  Does anyone know what its like? 

Also, just to be sure - is it a different Black Lion in Abergorlech? That came up in a few search engine results, need to make sure I visit the right one if there are 2 in close proximity!!

Thanx, Delyth.

This is the only photo I can find. It's the white building on the left in the back of the photo.

Black Lion Hotel, Llansawel.  Still doing business and yes do a lovely Sunday lunch between 12midday and 5pm.  Has been updated and floors levelled.  Also now has a separate restaurant.  Is the HQ of Llansawel Rugby Club and Clwb Saethu Clai Llansawel.  Attached picture is very recent.
