"The nearest licensed house was the Plasterer's Arms, Mwldan, which was about 100 yards away. The latter house had four rooms on the ground floor, and six bedrooms. It also had a yard and stables, and was a larger and better house than the Drawbridge Inn, and was situated in a more convenient place for the public. In his opinion there was a larger trade there than at the Drawbridge Inn. The rateable value was £11 5s, and the stables were separately rated." WGWWA 5 March 1908
