Beskrivning
Haverfordwest is the county of town of Pembrokeshire. The oldest buildings in the town date back to the medieval period, when the Normans built the castle and several churches. The importance of Haverfordwest as a trading centre on the River Cleddau is also seen in the survival of a medieval storehouse on the quay. Coaching inns arrived later, Haverfordwest becoming a transport hub for major routes in south-west Wales. The rise of Nonconformism from the seventeenth century is also represented by numerous chapels.Haverfordwest in 50 Buildings explores the history of this town in south-west Wales through a selection of its most interesting buildings and structures, showing the changes that have taken place over the years. The book will appeal to all those who live in Haverfordwest or who have an interest in the area.
