Work Begins on the Holly Bush Inn for the full restoration of Cefn Mawr’s oldest pub, and now the headquarters of the Plas Kynaston Canal Group. On the 25th July planning permission was granted by Council for the full restoration of the building as a Pub, Restaurant and Museum. This programme will be linked into the Townscape Heritage Initiative and the Rural Development Programme to help promote our village and encourage footfall back into Cefn Mawr with Visit Wales and other organisations. The work currently being conducted by local builders, TFS, is the restoration of the Old Vaulted Beer Cellar below the bar and Bar so that the beer cellar can be moved from its present location on the ground floor, freeing up this area for the restaurant later next year. During the entire restoration of the Pub we are aiming to keep the doors open and hope you will all support us and be tolerant of all our activities during such time. Although we have been advised that it would be easier to close the pub for the works we are choosing to keep the doors open following popular request to date and the fact that Cefn Mawr, a village once famed with so many pubs, now has so few. As before when we were fighting with the brewery earlier this year, the policy is, the pub stays open! We are hoping that we can complete the Historic Building Restoration for the Easter Bank Holiday Weekend next year, i.e. the start of the season on the Waterways, Llangollen Canal and and we look forward to seeing you all at the Holly Bush Inn over the coming year. You can also contact us at Cefn Mawr’s own Tourist Information Centre, Lure-It UK Fishing Tackle LL14 3AB. www.plaskynastoncanalgroup.org

Open Doors event on 28 / 29 September at The Holly Bush Inn Exhibition / Guided Walk from 10.30 to 4.30pm Maps and photographs showing the history of Cefn Mawr will be on display in the Holly Bush Inn the oldest pub in Cefn Mawr. Come and see for yourself living heritage and then take a walk with the Plas Kynaston Canal Group guides around the village. Bring some overall so you can get dirty and we may even show you Watkins Well.. Contact 01978 823700 16
