I have received an enquiry about the Queen’s Hotel in Merthyr. There are two references to it in the Merthyr Telegraph (below).
From the description, it looks like it was situated at the bottom end of the High Street, opposite St Tydfil’s Church. Both the original enquirer and I have searched through old maps and trade directories, but neither of us can find any record of it.
Can anyone shed some light on this mystery hotel?
Sounds like the location of the Queen’s Cafe…
I think it is more likely to be at the bottom of the High Street opposite St Tydfil’s Church. The Taff Vale Station was roughly where Aldi is now.
