Dilapidated centuries-old building to be turned into a 'tavern' serving food and drink

An entrepreneur has been given the go-ahead to breathe new life into a dilapidated building, which was once a warehouse, in Llanelli town centre. Jonathan Swift owns the building in Bridge Street and is going to turn it into a tavern-style venue.

"It is basically a square box," he said. Mr Swift has researched the building going as far back as 1730. He plans to name the new food and drink business The Margraves in recognition of Margrave Brothers wine merchants which once traded from the building. He said it used to be a warehouse.

"I love buying derelict buildings, doing them up, and turning them into something," he said. "We want to do a proper job. It will be a big investment definitely."
