A talk by Dr Simon Hancock at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery will look at the history of Pembrokeshire in its widest sense.

Over the past two thousand years, Pembrokeshire has been shaped with the constant moving of population.

This talk reviews the arrival of the Romans, Desai from Ireland, Normans, Flemish and English, all of whom came as colonists.

In this talk about peoples, perhaps the strongest link has been the constant story of Irish migration.

Economic change promoted migration and new arrivals, Cornish men and women with the opening of Pembroke Dockyard, Quakers from Nantucket who established Milford town and ‘navvies’ who brought the railway to Pembrokeshire.

The talk will take place on Thursday, June 12, from 7 to 8pm.
