History

Mid to later C19 pair, formerly inn and shop, now both houses, possibly rebuilt as late as 1870s, though late Georgian in style. The Lamb Inn is recorded back to 1783, and is marked on 1845 Tithe Map as long range with wing coming forward at N end. It was owned by Price of Abergwenlais to 1856, and was sold to the Neuadd Fawr estate 1873. It functioned as a pub until c1875, D.Evans publican 1843, R. Williams publican 1873, but by 1891 was called Lamb House, occupied by Thomas Williams, retired farmer. Lamb Shop was occupied by Morgan Davies 1856, William Davies, shopkeeper, 1873 and Morgan Morgan, tailor 1891. The outbuilding behind Lamb House was used by a cobbler in C20 and that behind Lamb Shop by a butcher in C20.
