The Horse and Jockey Originally one of three thatched cottages, a beer house - 'The Colliers' - is recorded here by 1840. The inn sign probably refers to Fred Archer, Champion Jockey who raced at Bangor-on-Dee. Yr Horse and Jockey Un o dri bwthyn to gwellt oedd hwn yn wreiddiol ac erbyn 1840 ceir cofnod fod yma dy cwrw - 'The Colliers', mae'n debygol fod arwydd y dafarn yn cyfeirio at Fred Archer, pencampwr joci a fu'n rasio ym Mangor Is-y-Coed.
