I've got an old photo of my Grandad aged about 4 in about 1909 standing outside a pub. The name of the pub is partialy hidden but on the back of the photo it says "The Gwynne's Arms". I know my great Grandmother, Gwenllian Williams, went on to run the Golobe Hotel in Merthyr. There is a sign under the pubs name, over the door in big letters "Williams"
Does anyone know anything about the Gwynnes arms?

Done a bit of homework it must be "The Gwynne's arms".
Is it still there?

Was the Gwynne's Arms at the Southern end of Cefn Coed?

Yes, the first building on the left as you entered Cefn Coed.

thanks for that.
Do you know when it ceased trading or where I can find anything else out about it?
By the way did you recieve the photo I sent you of the pub?
And could you change the thread to "The Gwynne's arms". Many thanks. it just looks kinda wrong.
I've found out loads more about my family whilst they were at the Globe, for some 30 odd years in the late 1800's, but am still trying to fill in the bits surounding my Great Grandmother Gwen, who must have been some woman to have run those pubs without a husband.
The census shows that none of them spoke any English when they were at the Globe but I'm sure that to run a busy pub and hotel in the centre of Merthyr, Wales's bigest city at the time, they must have had some command of it.
