This week’s ‘blast from the past’ is a photograph taken by Tiers Cross photographer Mark Adrien Richards on September 11, 1985 that went a long way to kill a myth that there were only ‘furreners’ working at Milford Haven’s Torch Theatre at the time. In fact, over half of the staff were locals, and here to prove it are most of them.
