Small village pub in the Ystwyth valley. The crossroads just past the pub is known as Figure Four due to the configuration of local roads, and the bus stop here carries that name. The name Figure Four appears on the 1:25,000 OS map, but what it refers to is not immediately clear on the map. The local information was provided by Stephen Wilks, who also adds: See this link: http://www.ceredigion.gov.uk/utilities/action/act_download.cfm?mediaid=22572 This link is also interesting as it shows old postcards of the area from the collection of a certain Charlie Downes - almost certainly the same Charlie Downes I used to serve at a local builder's merchant in the 80s. Charlie was a real local character, and well-known all over North Ceredigion. http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/33046/collection/LLANFARIAN/?&sort_typ=dmedium&sort_ord=1&show=all http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/33046/images/LLANFARIAN/?sort_typ=imageref&sort_ord=desc formation
