Readers have been getting in touch this week to share their fond memories of a Flintshire pub that is sadly now long gone.
A number of our much-loved pubs on our patch have sadly disappeared over time.
That is why The Leader has been taking a look at some of our pubs from the past individually, recently focusing on the likes of The Potter's Wheel in Buckley and The Red Wither Inn, which was once located at Wrexham Industrial Estate.
Our most recent trip down memory lane though took us to the Mercia Inn at Mynydd Isa.
Often described as an unusual looking building, the pub split opinion about how it looked on the outside - but inside, it was very much well-loved by its community.
Many of you have some great memories of the Mercia. Here's what you have been telling us about it ...
Christopher Swallow said: "Sang a few Frank Sinatra songs there in my younger days when Les Powell and Don Ames Used to persuade me to go for it, great days."
Susan Mulhearn added: "I used to be there every Saturday for the entertainment, shame it had to close as had some great nights there."
Chris Meredith said: "Played darts there many moons ago."
Mandy Walsh told us: "I remember drinking in there with my Auntie Pat and going to Germany with the darts team in 1989."
