Now and Then - Market Tavern Abergavenny

Market Tavern, Abergavenny
11 Market Street

First recorded as the Market House Tavern in 1850, by 1914 the pub was owned by the Charles Edwards Brewery Ltd of Llanfoist who were taken over by Rhymney Brewery in 1945. The Market Tavern closed in 1962.

The modern photograph was taken early in the morning at the Abergavenny Food Festival, when Raglan Cider Mill had their bar in the pub yard – they are not there all the time!
