The street contains several excellent examples of seventeenth-century timber-framed
buildings, the most outstanding being the famous
Llandoger Trow pub. The name was taken from the
flat-bottomed boats which traded between Bristol
and the Welsh coast, and may well refer
specifically to the ship of the first publican, a
Captain Hawkins, who converted the premises into
a public house on his retirement. The pub is
reputed to have been the haunt of pirates and the
model for the Admiral Benbow in Robert Louis
Stevenson's novel Treasure Island. It is also
said to have been the scene of meetings between
writer Daniel Defoe and Alexander Selkirk, the
famous castaway who provided the model for
Robinson Crusoe.
