History
In 1801, when Thomas Malkin passed, Pentre'r Lamb was a settlement of two inns and a few houses with a small mine by the river, near the canal-head of the Swansea Canal. The Lamb and Flag Inn and the adjacent No 14, once Lamb and Flag farmhouse may have been originally part of one large house or inn.

Ground floor has large casement pair each side of stuccoed enclosed porch with C20 door to left and C20 window to front. Half-glazed door within. First floor has window to left and 2 smaller windows to centre and right, with hinged top-lights. Ground floor windows have tooled stone sills, first floor windows without sills. Raised plinth. Rear right has NE long rubble stone wing with brick ridge stack, rear left has parallel rear range continued along rear of No 14, one-window with roof hipped at junction with NE range, and side wall chimney.
