EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in Haverfordwest, South Wales, in the year 1901, captures a scenic view of the ancient Castle, nestled amidst the picturesque townscape. The Castle, a historical landmark that dates back to the Edwardian era, stands proudly in the distance, its majestic silhouette framed by the rolling hills and the meandering river. In the foreground, a pile of timber logs dominates the scene, their rough, textured surface contrasting sharply with the smooth, stone walls of the Castle. This timber, sourced from the abundant forests of Pembrokeshire, was a vital part of Haverfordwest's thriving industry during this period. The larger logs were carefully loaded onto ships for export to various parts of the world, while the smaller pieces were used as pit props in the nearby coalmines. The wharf, with its old, weathered buildings and the wooden planks jutting out into the water, adds to the rustic charm of the scene. The bridge, with its arched design, connects the two sides of the town, providing a vital link for the movement of goods and people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Haverfordwest, a town that was once a bustling hub of trade and industry. The timber industry played a significant role in the town's economy, and the Castle, with its imposing presence, served as a symbol of the town's proud heritage. The Edwardian era, with its industrial growth and economic prosperity, left an indelible mark on Haverfordwest, a legacy that continues to inspire and fascinate visitors to this day.
