Five different roads met at Croes Penmaen and therefore quenched the thirst of many a weary traveler.

Like many watering holes in the area, Gwesty Inn was forced to close and be used as a coffee house during the era of Lady Llanover who strongly disapproved of alcohol.  Her desire and power within the community was the death knell for many public houses.
