What is recorded here
Yr Hen Goleg stands in Aberystwyth as both a university college and hotel, carrying Post Medieval life in its walls. Students may have debated inside while travellers rested above, mixing scholarship with journey in one building. The name still points to a place where learning and hospitality shared the same roof.
