History

Tremadog was the creation of William Madocks (1773-1828), the first phase of which was built in the first decade of the C19 century. No 3 Market Square was added in the small original gap between Nos 1 and 5 (corresponding with Dublin Lane on the W side of Market Square) in the first half of the C19. It was part of a joint premises with No 1, and is shown as such on the 1871 Tremadog estate plan. In 1858 it became the Madoc Printing Office, established by Robert Isaac Jones, 'Alltud Eifion' (1815-1905), who published the literary and antiquarian journal 'Y Brython' from here, 1858-63. It was latterly a greengrocers' shop.
