Sir, The letter from the chairman of Tenby Civic Society was welcome, and it is comforting to know that at least one of Tenby's watchdogs is awake. The subsequent letter from Roslyn Williams is interesting and informative. Having known her late father, I am quite certain he would have done all in his power to protect and preserve any aspect of Tenby's heritage. That said, and with due respect, I do not consider that the pronouncements of CADW are necessarily 'written in stone' and I believe that they are mistaken in this instance. A perusal of the remaining arches, which were probably originally windows as there were three only feet apart, reveals that the ground level at the time of construction must have been at least four feet lower than it now is. Further, I believe that the wall was a domestic and not a military construction, and that the filling in of the 'windows' was carried out at the time of the Civil War as part of defence outworks - why else fill them in? I adhere to my personal belief that the wall is early or mid 17th century.
Concerned Tenby lover.
