Holyhead, Anglesey
I am trying to find information on The Lord Edward - an inn or pub - in Holyhead in the early 1800s but can't find any trace of it. Can anyone suggest where I could find out more information?

An earlier of her articles reiterates that descendants of Major Thomas Swift kept "Swift Court" as an inn until the late 18th Century. It also states that the buildings had been struck by a German bomb during WW2.
