Description
Milford Haven Through Time explores the rich history and development of this coastal town in southwest Wales. Founded at the end of the 18th century, Milford has grown from a small settlement to a thriving community with a diverse economy.
The town's strategic location on the Milford Haven Waterway has played a significant role in its growth, with the whaling fleet and Royal Dockyard being major employers in the past. More recently, the port has transitioned to become one of the largest LNG importation ports in the country.
This book takes a fascinating look at the town's transformation over time, from its medieval roots to its modern-day marina with cafes, restaurants, and shops.
