Liverpool Arms Hotel green plaque

This green commemorative plaque records: The Liverpool Arms Hotel was built in 1843 in order to cater for visitors landing from Liverpool steam packets and for whom J.W. Thomas, the proprietor in 1910, was offering 'breakfasts, dinner and teas at moderate charges and a special week-end agreement'. The low building opposite the pier gates was a warehouse occupied by John Owen Edwards, a wholesale grocer, who was ideally situated to receive his supplies by sea. The old building was later demolished and larger warehouse erected on the site, which can be seen as it stands to the right of the pub. Recorded plaque organisation: Liverpool Arms.

The Liverpool Arms Hotel, established in 1843, served as a vital accommodation for travelers arriving via steam packets from Liverpool, reflecting the maritime and commercial ties between coastal towns and major ports.
