More about this scene

Despite the sign above the pub door saying 'Merry', this pub, previously an hotel, has always been named 'Merrie'. It sits majestically aside the Barry to Cardiff road, facing Barry. The pressure of road traffic has necessitated a roundabout, although only one Wolseley car can be seen. The pub is mid-Victorian, and is constructed of stone with an in-fill of pebbles of all colours and shapes.
