A FORMER pub in Flintshire could be turned into a home and holiday let. 

A planning application has been submitted to Flintshire Council regarding the conversion of Garth Mill, on Garth Lane in Ffynnongroyw, near Holywell. 

The proposal is to turn the pub - which closed its doors in March 2020 - into a single dwelling with linked holiday let and conversion of barn. 

As the application has only just been submitted, no further details are available. 

Garth Mill was built in 1743 by Mostyn Estates and produced feed for livestock on local farms, and for the ponies which worked the nearby coal mines.

Early in the 20th century, demand for the Ffynnongroyw mill’s produce dwindled as rival feed was transported from further afield and it closed in 1956.

It was used into the 1960s as premises for a business re-treading old vehicle tyres before the building fell into dereliction.

The mill was sold by Mostyn Estates and in 1983 it was fully restored and opened as a pub. 

After the pub closed its doors due to the Covid lockdown in March 2020, it was put on the market.
