Pembrokeshire Returns

This collection of over two hundred past images is a celebration of the return of Pembrokeshire to county status, carefully selected by Ken Daniels to rake the reader on a tour through town and countryside that vividly represents the rich history of the county and its people. In the Edwardian golden age of postcards Pembrokeshire was well served by a number of photographers. They left a fascinating pictorial legacy and examples of their work fill the pages of this book.Many images will open eyes to a lost world often now beyond living memory. They show vividly many things: the close connection which always
existed with the sea and the fishing industry; the military presence; and how the streets and the roads have been transformed by the advent of motorised transport.While turning these pages we imbibe some of the essence of the close-knit county communities as we travel from Fishguard and Goodwick in the north, through Haverfordwest, Milford Haven, Neyland and Pembroke Dock, down to the glorious seaside at Saundersfoot and Tenby. Every area of the county is remembered in this fascinating journey and indispensable guide to Pembrokeshire's past.
