The Foxhunter restaurant, Nantyderry

Uploader's Comments

Built as a railway stationmaster's house, part of Nantyderry station where passenger services ceased in 1958. Its later uses include tearooms and a pub. The Foxhunter was named after the horse ridden by Nantyderry local, Sir Harry Llewellyn, in the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games. After Foxhunter won the only British gold medal of the games, the pub was renamed in his honour.
