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. I hope that you will enjoy it. ©John Hogg 2002 Meadow Cottage, Lords Meadows Farm Pembroke Haymaking at Lords Meadows Farm c1930 A way of life that has disappeared Assembly Rooms, Main Street – These were built by the Pembroke Assembly Rooms Company Ltd. in 1866 and opened on the 21st March 1867. They consisted of a large hall for 600 people with a ballroom and tea- rooms on the first floor. In the Victorian and Edwardian period the ballroom was the venue for many dances attended by the Gentry, local farmers and leading figures of the town. The ground floor remained in use as a public hall until sometime between 1914 and 1920 when Mr Rees Phillips, a cabinetmaker, installed a cine-projector and advertised the premises as ‘Pembroke Cinema’. By 1923 it was in the hands of John Usher but by 1926 it does not appear in the trade directories as a cinema. Mr Walter Haggar seems to have taken over between 1926 and 1934 and changed the name to ‘Haggar’s Cinema’. He died in 1934 and his son, Len Haggar took over. The cinema was always very popular and successful until the 1980s when, because of VAT and videotapes, the business was no longer viable. In 1984 the premises were closed as a cinema and opened as a snooker hall. Pembroke Cinema c1920. Back Lane - The former name of Monkton Lane, the length of road between Lake House and the southern end of Church Terrace, Monkton. The houses on the south side were demolished in the early 1960s as part of the Clearance Program (Clearance Area No. 7 - Nos. 1 to 9 - odd numbers). The sites were used for road widening purposes. Barton Place, Main Street – This is mentioned in several Trade Directories but I have not yet found out exactly where it was. In 1901 William Rogers lived there and George Davies also had a draper’s shop there. In the 1923 Directory George Davies is listed as having a draper’s shop in Wesley Square. This suggests that Barton Place was in the Wesley Square / St. Michael’s Square area. Number 101 Main Street is called Barton House and this may be the location of Barton Place. This house was not occupied in 1939. Black Lane - This is the former name of South Road (1861 O.S. Map). Blacksmith's Shop, The Green - Situated on the north side of the old entrance road to Golden Hill Road (now a footpath) it formed part of a complex consisting of the blacksmith's shop, a garage and a store used by Mr Pannell. The occupier of the blacksmith's shop in 1939 is shown as Mr Lambert Thomas. All these properties were included in Clearance Area No. 2 as land outside a Clearance Area required for the proper development of the site and were demolished in the 1961 redevelopment of the Green area. (See Harbour Lodge for a plan of the Green area). From the 1848 Bush Estate map Bush House - The original Bush House may have been erected in the 1660s by Essex Meyrick on the site of a farm or manor house. This house appears to have been two storied with attic rooms, dormer windows and a high pitched roof (The Meyricks of Bush by Michael McGarvie). The 171/92 Land Tax lists Bush as ‘Bush – North Hook’ and gives John Francis Meyrick as the owner. Richard Fenton (1811) considered that he knew ‘no residence that involves more ingredients of elegant comfort than Bush’. It was substantially rebuilt by Thomas Charlton Meyrick from about 1839 onwards but had only a short life. The western elevation of Bush House as rebuilt by Thomas Charlton Meyrick from 1839 onwards. From a copy of a photograph from Mr J.M. Owen Bush House, Stables and Gardens 1848 On The 8th January 1866, a fire broke out in a chimney and this spread to the main building. In ‘The Meyricks of Bush’ Michael McGarvie sets the scene beautifully and I can do no better than quote from his book. From the Haverfordwest and Milford Haven Telegraph - ‘…The fire is supposed to have originated in an old flue which was connected with the fire-place in the butler's pantry, and was discovered early in the evening by the house steward, Mr Daniels, and Mrs Evans the housekeeper; who supposed that the chimney only was on fire; however, they were very speedily made aware by the progress of the flames, that the house was unmistakably on fire . the dinner was about to be served when the terrible intelligence was conveyed to Mrs Meyrick, who immediately, with the greatest self-possession, went to Mr Daniels, and desired him to take charge of the family plate; and place it in the fireproof safe, which was accordingly done, together with her jewellery, &c all of which was saved.' A horseman was sent to Pater for the military and Dockyard fire engines. Mr Jenkins of the Victoria Hotel provided horses to draw them and with Mr Way, a butcher, did his best to save the house. Thousands of people, many soldiers and Superintendent Kelly and his men were soon present and much furniture was saved. Bush itself, however, was beyond salvation, 'owing to the scarcity of water' the fire engines were practically useless: 'The wind also blew a furious gale from the W.N.West, which fanned the flames into the utmost fury. It now became truly pitiable to behold the work of destruction that ensued. The terrific element raged with fearful violence, and spread with great rapidity to all parts of the building . some unprincipled ruffians plundered all they possibly could; wines, spirits, money, jewellery, &c having been ruthlessly stolen by these vagabonds'. Only the servant’s wing to the north was saved. The loss was estimated at £20,000, of which only £4,000 was covered by insurance. The fire was considered worthy of report in the national press. The Illustrated London News, describing Bush as an 'old Elizabethan mansion', put the loss at £30,000. The succinct report in The Times (12th January) adds useful details to the more wordy local account: 'On Monday last a disastrous fire occurred at Bush-house, Pembroke, the seat of Mr T. Meyrick, one of the largest landowners in the county, by which the whole of the house and a considerable portion of the furniture were destroyed. The fire is supposed to have originated in an over-heated flue in the upper part of the building and, owing to a very high wind blowing at the time, the flames spread with great rapidity, and in the course of two hours the mansion was a mere shell. The old pictures, plate and other valuable property are saved. Engines from the dockyard, the 62nd Regiment, and Royal Artillery were promptly in attendance, and did their best to check the progress of the devouring element, but unfortunately with little effect'. The Telegraph reported that some 'admirable photographs' had been taken by Mr Webb, of Pater, 'which give an excellent idea of the desolation'. Photograph of the west front after the fire taken by Mr Sidney Webb, ‘Photographic Artist’ of Commercial Row The old servants quarters were incorporated into the new house built in 1905. The house was sold to Pembrokeshire County Council in the 1960s and became the accommodation for students at the school farm. It was sold again in the 1980s and is now a home for the elderly. Bush House Stables – These were built before 1868. After the sale of the house to Pembrokeshire County Council they were used to breed chickens in connection with the school farm. In February 1960 the stables were extensively damaged by fire; the whole of the first floor and roof being destroyed. Bush House, The Clock Tower - Situated at the rear of the stable block, it was a tall stone tower with a clock and was built for the ‘convenience’ of the estate employees.

    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.

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.
