Great video. I lived here in mid 60s when a young boy in a chalet in the field that was accessed up the lane almost opposite where the police house used to be. Do you know it? The house at the top if the lane was called Westward Ho and our chalet was the first one past it.

Watching this reminds me of playing in the fields there as a kid - I will never forget playing in the fields with my friend Sarah and a man was hiding in the long grass and leapt out at us. We were absolutely petrified and ran back to Masefield Drive where Sarah’s mother marched straight out armed with kitchen utensils and shouted like I’ve never heard before. I will never forget that. Great memories of Priory Avenue, Poets Corner - we used to live next door to your sister and G in Shakespeare (my Dad was a Serg)

Arrived in Haverfordwest in 1976 to install the passenger lift in the telephone exchange in Perrots Ave. I was recommended the Carmarthen Arms as a decent place to get some grub at lunchtime. I became friendly with the landlord at the time, a chap named Les Fynn. It became my watering hole for the duration of the contract and i met some great locals who were very accomodating. Ashley Owston who lived a few doors from the pub on Cartlett. I moved on travelling the country with my work until Les rang me at home in Manchester and persuaded me to relocate to Harford and help him run the pub .I had a great time in the following 18 months before moving to the Masons Arms for a short time. Many happy memories of the Arms working with Les and Tony.

Thank you for that walk around and sharing some of your personal history. Such a shame what's happened to the town center, during the 80's and 90's there were seas of people all doing their shopping and meeting up. It was a thriving town.

It seems to me that to cure this ghost town, turn the new council buildings into a University of Art, with a monthly preforming drama production for the public. This fantastic town could be resuscitated back to life with some new young blood. If nothing is done it will look more like Chernobyl a town that been evacuated and abandoned because of health reasons, like boredom.

Thanks for uploading this video and taking us along, i have good memories of Little Haven when I was twelve the family holidayed in Bridge House and the Lady who owned and rented to my father, took a shine to me and it made my holiday the conversations we had and helping her with the Eels coming down the brook/sriver behind the house. I loved the stories of days when she was young and of Little Haven. An enduring memory that I find myself returning too now that i have the age of 57, funny how life returns to times when you were young and Old Haunts. I must see about taking a short stay when we are free of all restrictions.

Have come back to Solva every year to ride and now looking to compile those videos on the road (or the cycling paths) where others can benefit from the knowledge. When I saw your latest video it struck a chord. Talk soon. Planning on later this year.
