The white building you see just up the road is the old Manson Inn that closed in c1965. Dated 1760 and initialled PEE on the front of the building, the initials are said to refer to Philip Endale who opened the inn in the eighteenth century. The building, however, appears to be probably late C17 in origin so the date may refer to when it was refurbished as a public house.
A significant building in it's time it was a popular place to stop on your way into Monmouth from the north, but now is just a very pleasant building that I thought was worth drawing people's attention to
The building is wholly rendered and painted, probably over rubble stone, with a Welsh slate roof. Single depth central entry plan with an additional bay on the right and a continuous outshut on the rear elevation. It hast two storeys and an attic, and three windows. It has a fairly steeply pitched roof with gabled dormer, a stack on junction with the adjoining house.
Rear elevation has long catslide roof coming low over the single storey outbuilding.
The Cache
The cache is a micro and is placed for a fairly quick find - no need to cross the road if you park in the pull-over as waymarked by the bus stop (on the left as you head away from town). Please replace with the opening at the bottom to stop the water getting in.
