Shown at the archives in 1938 with its corner door still in place, the New Inn on Cambrian Street was only round the corner from its namesake on Whitby Street. The New Inn is pictured above in the 1970s and it was open until 1985, known locally as Palmer's [1], presumably after an old landlord.

On the corner of Lind Street and Cambrian Street, the building is still there today as Petro Fine Furnishings, although entirely clad in corrugation. Another photo from the archives shown the New Inn as a Red Rose Ales house in 1963.

I can confirm that Frederick Watkin Palmer was landlord in 1919.
