Star Inn
An unfortunate visit to Merthyr Tydfil in 1802
In 1802, Nelson the hero of the Battle of Trafalgar visited Merthyr Tydfil with Lady Hamilton.
They spent some time in the Star Inn as the guests of Miss Jenkins the inn keeper.
To celebrate the visit to Merthyr, a cannon was fired off at the nearby lime kilns,
which unfortunately resulted in the death of a young boy.
Lady Hamilton was so upset at the incident that she paid the lads parents eight guineas for funeral expenses
so that he could be interred in a decent manner.
