Carew Inn, Carew

The Carew Inn was once the estate pub of the Trollope-Bellow family and the local tailor names James Freeman was the first landlord in 1868

A year later it became the meeting place for the local Friendly Society called the Carew Ivorites Club

Licenses laws were closely adhered and the landlady, Martha Freeman, was fined one shilling for serving beer to a customer two minutes after closing time!

A report appeared in the West Wales Guardian in 1935 which stated that 'Mrs. Ella Ingham, Astridge, has taken the Carew Inn and intends to manage it herself .........The old-world inn is being completley renovated and furnished up-to-date lines'

For a while the inn was the home of the local football and cricket teams
