More about this scene

The building in the centre of the picture was the former butter and fish market. Dating from 1791 this two-storey building served this purpose until 1900 when the ground floor became a municipal dairy and the upper storey the repository of the Council records. It was demolished in 1951 and was then the site of the 1939-45 War Memorial until this was moved to Salutation Square. The building on the left was the former grammar school and was demolished and is now the site of the library. The steeply-angled gable end with bellcote beyond the grammar school is that of the Roman Catholic Church of St. David and St Patrick, opened in 1872. The tower of St Mary's Church can been seen beyond the butter and fish market.

Best Friend

My best friend Glenda Prior lived in the Gloster Arms with her mum and dad, this would have been in the 1970s. I have so many happy memories of our time together, practicing the "Greaser " dance in the snug ! So sad to hear that it has closed .Memories live on when the building is closed.

Llangwm, Haverfordwest

I have memories of my father writing to his aunt and uncle in Haverfordwest. They lived at Ferry Hill House, Llangwm Ferry. It sounded a lovely place but I never went there. I'd like to see a picture of it or hear from anyone who knew them. Their surname was Heap. Pentelow was another family name.

The Gloster Arms

I was largely brought up in Mariner's Square. Directly opposite the Mariner's Hotel (the building with the portico) was a pub called the Gloster Arms. At the time this picture was taken it was run by my great grandmother and later by her daughter, my grandmother. My father and his brother lived there until they both married in the 1950's. My sisters and I played on the square outside of the pub. The pub has ...see more
