EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a destructive gale that swept through Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales, in the late 1890s. The image depicts the damaged Gasworks, a Victorian-era industrial structure that once supplied the town with much-needed fuel during the era before widespread electrification. The force of the wind is evident in the twisted metal pipes and the overturned boats in the foreground, which were likely moored nearby and were also caught in the storm's wrath. The stone buildings of the Gasworks, with their intricate details and chimneys, stand in stark contrast to the turbulent waters of the estuary, which have been churned up by the wind. The once-pride of the town now lies in ruins, a reminder of the power and unpredictability of nature. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of a moment in time when the tranquility of the town was disrupted by the elements, and the community came together to face the challenges of recovery. The date of this photograph is estimated to be around 1895, making it an invaluable record of the town's history during a time of change and transition. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity, a message that resonates with us even today. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, capturing a moment in time when the natural world asserted its dominance over human endeavor. The damage to the Gasworks is a testament to the power of the wind and the unpredictability of the weather, and serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting the natural world and being prepared for the unexpected.
