Commodore Hotel, Mill Lane Llanyravon, Cwmbran 1 Octoberr 2013

The Commodore Hotel was built on the site of Llanyravon House, built in 1900; this later became the Stirrup Cup Club, the hotel being built in the late 1970s/early 1980s. The hotel has been in administration and boarded up since the end of 2011, and is earmarked for building land for housing.

Permission has been granted to develop the site for housing.

Pilliner's Bar at the hotel referred to the Pilliner family; when Alfred Massey Pilliner, son of the former managing director of the local Oakfield Wire Works married the daughter of Richard Laybourne, the latter bought Llanyravon Farm for them, and in 1900, had Llanyravon House, a Gothic style mansion built on the Commodore site for the couple.
