The next morning armed with a copy of the advertisement so we could check building configurations with\u00a0number and size of windows, chimneys etc, rather important in a place like Brecon, we back headed across the bridge and went pub hunting. \u00a0The street the pub was in was minuscule and while we found no pub we certainly found the original building, now very run down and with an open window through which birds flew,\u00a0although Google maps show that not so\u00a0long ago \u00a0businesses\u00a0had\u00a0inhabited the ground floor.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Street name<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>The remains of the \u00a0hotel. The building to the left of the pink section is a replacement for a\u00a0section of hotel demolished sometime previously.<\/p><\/div>\n
