The family brewery established here was known as the Victoria Brewery, the name transferred to the Davies brewery further down the street after 1857. By the 1860s the house was occupied by Thomas Lloyd Morgan, chemist, and he bought the freehold in 1882, running his business also in No 9. W.T. Morgan by 1900. The business was known as Medical Hall until transferred further up Stone Street in the early C20, when No 11 became the Gerwyn Cafe. Solicitors' offices in 2003.
