Now & Then, former Farmers Arms, Resolven, Neath

 

The former Farmers Arms, Glynneath Road, Resolven, Neath, marked as a "Beer House" on the 1888 Ordnance Survey Map, as opposed to a fully licensed "Public House". Was owned by Evan Evans Bevan Brewery of Neath who sold out to Whitbread in 1967 as the family preferred to live in the Channel Islands as tax exiles. The pub closed in 2019 and has since been converted to housing and is now called "Farmers Lodge". Also known as the Ynysbipan Arms, there was a campaign by locals to save the pub


Other former Evan Evans Bevan Vale of Neath Brewery pubs in Resolven were:

The New Inn, New Inn Place, now the Nisa shop, closed around 2004

The Gored Hotel/Gored Arms, Melincourt, demolished

The Vaughan Arms, the last pub in the village closed in 2020
