Siop Nain
Siop Nain is a Grade II Listed Building situated near the centre of Ruthin, Denbighshire and dates back to 1490. From 1850 Isaac Clarke used a building at the back as a print shop, which is most notable for the first printing of the National Anthem of Wales: Hen Wlad fy Nhadau. Around 1850 he set up his own business at 6 Well St, Ruthin. "Siop Nain" is also known as 6 Well Street.
