DUKE'S ARMS INN, KNIGHTON, RADNORSHIRE. THOMAS ADAMS, with gratitude and respect, returns sincere Thanks to his friends and the Public in general for the favours he has received since he has kept the above Inn, and hopes continuance of the same, which it will be his unremitting endeavours to merit by every attention in his power and begs leave to submit the Distances to the consideration of occasion to travel post between South and North Wales, especially from Brecon (through Knighton,) Salop or Oswestry, and other counties, more north, in England. The road through Knighton is very much improved, and the stages such as to make it easy to the traveller, and the posting performed with more facility than running longer distances.
