More about this scene
This was one of Bala`s most famous inns. It was immortalised by George Borrow, who enjoyed the most sumptuous breakfast of his life here in 1854 during a tour which he recorded in Wild Wales: `a noble breakfast, such indeed as I might have read of but never before seen`. It included local salmon, trout, eggs, and mutton chops.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Good to see that you have the view from the bridge, my aunt and uncle lived in the house on the left, which is called Ty Newydd. Many happy memories of tea time visits and playing and fishing in the river with the cousins. I helped my Uncle lay his drive, which 34 years later is still in good condition.
I know this view very well, as my aunt and uncle lived in Ty Newydd, their garden led down to the river on the right hand side of the photo. Spent many an hours playing in the river and fishing with my cousins, never caught anything!
