More about this scene
Without doubt, Pembroke is one of the most impressive castles in Britain. The first castle was built in the 1090s by Roger de Montgomery and his son, possibly on the site of a native Welsh fortification. The great cylindrical keep, built in the late 12th and early 13th centuries, towers above the ruins. The future Henry VII was born here in 1457.

The white dust on the water in the Pembroke photgraphs is flour from the Town Watermill. After a minor fire this lovely building was wickedly destroyed by the Council. It would be a major attraction today.
