The Bull Inn, Nevill Street: The plaque is on the Post Office which has been built on the area where the rear of the premises stood. It was one of the many inns around the medieval marketplace here. The ceramic plaques, in the gallery, show some of the activities that went on in the Medieval Market.
There is evidence that the east side of Nevill Street and the St John's Square area was once an early market site: The regular burgage plot divisions, so obvious on the west side of Nevill Street, are absent on this side. The old name of Rother Street (Rother = horned cattle) and the names of two pubs - the Bull Inn and Cow Inn - reinforce this evidence. Drovers' cattle may well have been rested on the nearby Usk meadows on their long journey to English border markets. Text source: (
