THE MAERDY HOTEL

Does anyone remember the Maerdy Hotel pub, It burnt down (arson) in 1996 (I think) my local and I fuckin loved it
there were a few Bluebird fans who drank there and was wondering if any are on here (as we would probably know each other)
A truly mad/mental pub

i remember it, place was insane

i remember it, place was insane

Baz, It was insane alright, I grew/born up there (Maerdy) and I have to say The Maerdy Hotel was the best pub in the world ......I go to pubs in London/other Countries and when people are giving it large I just sit back and think (you wouldn't last 2 minutes in the Maerdy Hotel )

Marc used to get in there mid eighties, always a warm welcome, but woe betide anyone who got out of line. A rough old boozer, with some right tasty characters. The Earland family immediatedly spring to mind.

denzil earland what is he up to today

My first wife was a Maerdy girl and I got married in the chaple on the main road and found out a few years ago, that lennie Lawrence also got married there to his first wife who was a Maerdy girl.

One of my old mates from Judo used to run the maerdy hotel, Paul something and its killing me coz I caan't remember his last name.

Great Valley great people.

John, I know the Earland family (I used to babysit Denzils sisters son ) great pub and I miss it greatly

Rarely get up that way now Marc, I`m down in Porth. Last time I drove through there it was like a ghost town, with everything shut down. Little Moscow now looks very delapitated.

JBBJ, Sadly it is like a ghost town (little Moscow ), but has the most friendly people you would ever want to meet, do you remember the Maerdy Hall (another legendary place). I used to have a few jars in Porth (the black rock?? is it still there??)
