SOUTH QUAY IN OLD PHOTOGRAPHS

Once Pembroke's Quay was approached through the old North Gate.  This was sadly demolished in about 1825, the only gate to have survived the ravishes of the Civil War.  But even greater destruction to the South Quay happened in recent times when the distinctive Corn Mill was burnt down in the 1950s and the warehouses were demolished some time later (if anyone could tell me when, I would appreciate the information).

Here are some photographs to give some idea of what the Quay looked like before modern forces of destruction rendered it to a mere car park with very little left to tell of Pembroke's great maritime history.
