Haverfordwest
Haverfordwest is the county town of Pembrokeshire in Wales. It works as the county's primary industrial and administrative centre. Haverfordwest is the most heavily populated urban area in Pembrokeshire. Nevertheless, according to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 12042 people, which is a minor loss from the 13367 inhabitants reported in the 2001 Census. The town has actually been English-speaking for centuries, however given that the town markets traded the goods of Welsh farmers to the north and east, there has always been a substantial Welsh-speaking prominence and the air of a 'frontier' town. The suburb of Prendergast looks to have come from as an extramural Welsh dormitory, dating from the times when all agricultural trade needed to go through the district, and the afraid Normans before the destruction of Anglo-Norman power in 1136 aimed to avoid Welshmen bearing arms from entering within the castle walls after nightfall. In accordance with its status as a sub local hub-town, Haverfordwest continues to serve as Pembrokeshire's primary business and retail centre. Recent years have seen the development of the river-side shopping centre. More recently still there has actually been considerable retail development in the residential area of Withybush on the borders of the town, with the opening of a number of big commercial chain stores. Haverfordwest is roughly 6 miles (10 kilometres) miles east of the village of Broad Haven, part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and Britain's only coastal national park, which attracts countless holiday-makers each year. The closest border of the park is at Hanton Bridge 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southeast. The town is also home to a number of football, rugby, cricket and kayaking clubs. For all your home refurbishments, make sure to identify reputable contractors in Haverfordwest to make certain of quality.
