The premises on Pentywyn Road are known to many as "Maggie Murphys". The pub was originally a coaching stop where horses could be changed and stabled in a farm,"Stablua", opposite. In late Victorian times the pub was changed to give its present day appearance. The name "Maggie Murphys" comes from the daughter of the proprietor, Margaret Pritchard, who would sing the song "Maggie Murphy" to the patients of local convalescent homes such as the Edward Malam Home on Warren Drive & the Birmingham Saturday Fund Hospital at Ty’n-y-Coed.
