MAYORS of PEMBROKE from 1381 to 2002 Compiled by John MAYORS OF PEMBROKE FROM 1381 TO 2002 Compiled by John and Carol Hogg The following list of Mayors of Pembroke from 1658 to 1905 has been taken from a list kindly supplied by Pembroke Town Council to which we have added some details of the personalities concerned and other details from “A Historical Sketch” by George Mason (1905). Unfortunately, the lists of Mayors given by George Mason and others differ considerably in places from that of the Town Council and they cannot be relied upon for dates and persons. We have taken the Town Council list to be correct. It seems that Mayors were elected in November and served until the following November until 1948 when the date of the Local Elections was changed to May. The Deputy Mayors in the years up to the 19th Century appear to have chosen by the Mayor. In later years up to 1974, the retiring Mayor automatically served as the new Mayor’s deputy. Since 1974, the position has been reversed and the deputy Mayor becomes the new Mayor. The list of Bailiffs has been taken from ‘Mayors of Pembroke’ published in the West Wales Historical Records for 1915. The notes in brackets (…) are ours and those in black Italics are extracts from George Mason. We would like to thank the Town Clerk, Mr P. S. Lloyd and his secretary Mrs Marilyn Carne for their help.

  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.

  • 79 at a Meeting of Pembroke Dock Town Council Held at the Pater Hall
    At a Meeting of Pembroke Dock Town Council held at the Pater Hall, Pembroke Dock on Thursday, 1st September, 2005 at 6.30 p.m. PRESENT: Councillor R.G. Watts, Mayor D.T.Esmond, Mrs. P.E.M. Folland Mrs. C. Fortune, Mrs. P.E. George, P.G. Gwyther, K.C. Higgs, D.L. Jones, S. Perkins, Mrs. V.M.J. Roach, P. Weatherall. IN ATTENDANCE: Ian. Jones, Town Clerk Mrs. S. Lowen, Committee Clerk The meeting was opened with Prayer. 63. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence were received from Councillor Mrs. J.M. Rees. 64. SERGEANT ERIC EVANS – DYFED POWYS POLICE The Council welcomed Sergeant Evans of Dyfed Powys Police who had been invited to attend the meeting in order to address concerns of Members including the use of 999 calls to report anti-social behaviour. He said that these concerns had been passed on to his Chief Inspector. He advised that all serious calls should go through the 999 system and non- emergency calls to go through the contact center number. If someone felt threatened by anti- social behaviour then this would warrant a 999 call. Councillor Mrs. C. Fortune reported that people in Pennar Ward had called the police on the contact centre number to report incidents of anti-social behaviour and have had no response. The community in Pennar had convened a public meeting to which they had invited a police representative, who had agreed to attend. Unfortunately, the representative had not been available at the last minute because of work commitments, and had failed to make contact to re-arrange another meeting.

  • Pembroke Story
    PEMBROKE PREFACE This reference is not a history of Pembroke but is a guide to some of the houses, streets, buildings and artefacts which have been ‘lost’ to the Town. Pembroke, being a very old town, has changed and evolved over the centuries and it is obviously impossible to list all the changes, even if they were known. In order to balance the content of this reference and the Pembroke Dock guide I have taken the boundary between the towns as Pembroke Road and Imble Lane thus placing Bush in Pembroke although it is geographically in Pembroke Dock. Between the two wars, there was almost no new building in the area and during the Second World War many properties in Pembroke Dock were destroyed by enemy bombing. New estates of private and council houses were planned from 1945 onwards to make good this loss and to cater for the clearance of old houses. In the 1950s, it was Government policy to demolish whole areas of ‘unfit’ houses and the Pembroke Borough Council, implementing this policy, demolished much of Monkton and parts of Station Road. Many other houses were classed as individually unfit and were demolished as part of the same policy. The purpose of this reference is to assist people who are researching their ancestors and who wish to find the location of the house where they lived. As individual streets and even whole areas have disappeared, this can be difficult. The document may also be of interest to those who research local history. I have tried to be as accurate as I can but there is much I have not been able to uncover and no doubt some new historical facts will emerge as time goes by.

  • Unit 3: Thematic Studies from a Broad Historical Perspective 3C
    UNIT 3: THEMATIC STUDIES FROM A BROAD HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE 3C. The DevelopmentThe Voyages of Warfare, of Discovery and c.1250 to the present day.Conquest of the Americas, 1492-1522 Causes of war. Have wars always had the same causes over time? Causes of war in general. Overview “Every age had its own kind of war, its limiting conditions and its own peculiar preconceptions.” - Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831), Prussian general and military theorist. There can be no single cause of war. The origins of conflict over time have been diverse and complex but they have basic similarities and characteristics. Political, economic, religious, nationalistic and ideological factors have been the causes of war and warfare itself has been shaped by science and technology. Recent research has revealed that there have only been 292 years without war since 3,600 BC. In ancient times nomadic peoples went to war over grazing rights and the prospects of plunder. The Roman Empire was established by warfare and ultimately destroyed by it. Religion was a major cause of war in early times while in the modern era imperialism and commercial rivalry have pushed nations to war. With causes there are consequences. The cost has been over 150 million war- related deaths of which 96% have occurred in the last 400 years. The concept of “Total War” in more recent times, where civilians become targets, has increased the death toll. In the First World War there were 8.4 million military and 1.4 million civilian deaths. In the Second World War there were 16.9 million military and 34.3 million civilian deaths.
