Which pub?

[jan]

I am working on our family history and would like to find which pub my uncle ran in Merthyr Tydfil.He was from Cardiganshire originally.His name was John Jones born 26th July 1870 and died 7th June 1947.
He married Elizabeth Thomas at Portmorlais ,Merthyr Tydfil ,3rd September 1891.
Does anybody know anything about this couple or their family?
I would be very grateful for your help.

Hi Jan, the Glove and Shears pub was at the bottom end of Twynyrodyn, Merthyr Tydfil and just on the edge of the town centre.

It functioned as a pub for many years and fell derelict. However, the building was completely refurbished recently and now operates as a Dominos Pizza business.

I will try and get a photograph for you next time I am in the area.

Hope this helps,

Lloyd.

My grand uncle being George Mitchell, his wife was Ellen Elizabeth Mitchell ( nee Weeb) used to run "The Glove & Shears pub" in Duke St, Cardiff in 1901. My Grandfather Walter aged 21 used to be a barman there. He later had his own pub "The Pembroke Castle" in Louisa St,Docks. Have anybody got info or pictures of both pubs. Trying to add to my family tree.
