Overview

Haverfordwest Cine Society celebrate what their town has to offer, including the roadworks which are a temporary feature. There is St Mary's Church with octagonal steeple, the soon-to-be-opened 'Angels' Club', and the indoor market. Two memorials are noted, one commemorating the spot on which protestant William Nichol was burnt at the stake in 1558, the other, in Celtic style, commemorating Pembrokeshire men who died in the Boer War (1899-1902).
