Fantastic Original Vintage Metal Pub Sign from The Tanronnen Inn, United Kingdom.
This pub combines several earlier buildings. The name means “Beneath the ash tree” and has been spelled in many different ways over the centuries.
In the early 19th century, one part of the building was used as stables for the Beddgelert Hotel (later the Royal Goat). For a while it was a cottage, before becoming an inn in 1830. The inn and next-door cottage were bought in 1876 by the sitting tenant, William Evans, who was also a farmer.
An adjoining corner shop had been built in 1855. It was an ironmonger’s shop for many years.
Griffith Roberts and his wife Catherine sold the Tanronnen Hotel and corner shop in 1920 for £2,185. The new owners soon incorporated the corner shop into the hotel and had a petrol pump installed in front of the building, visible in the old photo.
Another ex-sailor, Humphrey Griffiths, bought the hotel in 1957. After his death in 1963, the Frederic Robinson brewery bought the building. Still in operation today.
The sign measures 35 1/2” W x 41 1/2” T x 1/8” D
