Tafarn Jem, Cwmann

Named after a lady named Jemimah who opened a hostelry here, called the Mountain Cottage Inn, but by dint of her character was soon widely known as Ty Jem or Tafarn Jem. She was born in the early 1820's and ran this wayside pub until her demise many years later. The small cottage adjacent and incorporated into the building was the original inn. She was especially generous to walkers apparently. Photos and info inside. She was 5ft nothing and treated everyone alike, great or good, lowly or humble, foreigner or friend. Here's to her.
