Historic Ruabon Inns
These are the inns of the old Ruabon Parish as they appeared in various Trade Directories.
Trade directories are alphabetical lists of names and addresses and are usually listed by occupation. They list information for the year they are published. In Wales, directories first appeared in the late eighteenth century and continue to the present day.
