This black commemorative plaque records: Pengwern & Sawyer's Cottage. These are two of the earliest surviving houses in Parkgate, built together pre-1700. Pengwern was once the home of a wealthy mariner Charles Salisbury, captain & ship-owner, who died here in 1733. The early owners of the adjoining cottage appear to have been associated with the former local ship-building industry, but from 1793 to 1905 this building became a public house known as the Sawyer's Arms, so called after the occupation of the first landlord Richard Bartley, sawyer and carpenter. Recorded plaque organisation: Parkgate Heritage Trail The Parkgate Society.
