Black Boy Inn, Caernarfon

Officially dated to the 17th century it is strongly believed to be much older and possibly dating back to the 14th century.
The Black Boy is probably one of Wales’ most famous inns.  The inn sign has a black boy on one side and on the other a black buoy.  Origins of name is in doubt but popular theory is that the Black Prince stayed here whilst it was a coaching house in the 1460s.  Another theory suggests its name from a large black buoy that stood in the harbour for the guidance of shipping.
