Tafarn Sinc (Zinc Tavern) is a pub in Rosebush, Pembrokeshire, Wales. [1] [2] [3]
The building is constructed of corrugated metal, which was commonly used in the second half of the nineteenth century in Britain for industrial buildings, [4] but is rare for pubs. Opened in 1876 [2] or 1877, [3] it originally served the adjacent Rosebush railway station on the Maenclochog Railway, which opened in 1876. Both were built as part of the development of a local slate quarry by businessman Edward Cropper. [3] The railway station closed to passengers in 1937 but the pub stayed in business. [5]
In 2017, after the owners decided to sell, it was bought by a community group of local residents and other shareholders. The scheme was promoted by actor Rhys Ifans, who was born locally. [6] [7]
