EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases the rich history and natural beauty of St David's, a picturesque town nestled in the heart of Pembrokeshire, South Wales. The image depicts partially ruined medieval defences, their once imposing stone walls now overgrown with ivy and moss, standing sentinel beside a serene fish pond. The arches, a remnant of a bygone era, frame the tranquil water, creating a striking contrast between the past and present. The walls, a testament to the region's storied past, were likely part of the defensive structures that once protected the town from invaders. Their crumbling state serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the inexorable march of history. The fish pond, with its crystal-clear waters, adds an element of peace and tranquility to the scene, providing a refreshing contrast to the rugged, timeworn walls. The photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when these ancient defences were still a vital part of the community. The lush greenery and the stillness of the water create a sense of calm, inviting us to reflect on the history and heritage of this enchanting corner of Wales. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our historical sites and the natural beauty that surrounds them. The ruins of St David's stand as a testament to the past, a reminder of the stories and legends that have shaped the region, and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
