Hello  :)

According to 1895 Kelly's Directory, Mrs Harriet Davies was at New Buck Inn, 57 Orchard St, Brecon

You can check directories at:

The Three Horseshoes is at 47 Orchard St, Brecon

Kind regards
Morgan

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