Love the photos. Only moved away 4 years ago, but miss most the beaches. I remember the garage with the smurfs used to go on way home from bottom Barn Street and there was a rearly nice lollipop man who, if we behaved when crossing, we would get sweets.

Does anyone else remember the old garage that was in Albert St? All I can remember is as a child they used to do the smurfs - great stuff yet again. Sorry I'm missing the old Harfat.

I live a couple of doors up, but in my garden we have discovered there's a well buried in our garden that had something to do with that cottage but the name of the street now is City Road...

Just seen the photos of Old Harfat. I was born and bred in Harfat used to live in Albert St during the 1970's. Haven't been home since the mid eighties but the town is still with me.

It is wonderful to view these historic shots of Harfat/Haverfordwest. My schooldays at the Grammar were memorable and there is always a secure place in my heart and mind for the wonderful shops, markets and fairgrounds of my era, 1946 to 1955.Great town and great cosmopolitan people.

I lived at the top of Cuckoo Lane in the 1940/50's. There are more than one house down the lane, I don't know where the site of a murder was, there was no wasteland. We walked right to the end of the lane on summer evenings picking wild strawberries and blackberries.I know the road is marked as private after the old cottage, but it never used to be so.I remember Little Slade before it became the Kennels, we used to be invited there by the then owners to pick the windfalls in the orchard.A couple of the new fancy houses built there are built over a well from which the family in the cottage drew their water, there was also a pond opposite the cottage.

Re the old showground site, there is still a bull tethering ring in one of the walls.

I was raised in the Little Slade boarding kennels down Cuckoo Lane during the 1960s/1970's, leaving Harford in 1980.
When I was young we used to play in the vacant plot which was the location of the murder scene. When we played there the area was an overgrown wasteland covered with brambles and nettles. We made a passageway through through these and found a small shack. When I spoke to my parents John and Beth Roberts, they told us that there was a murder there many years ago, we didn't believe them!
Thanks for these photos which we never knew existed. This brings back many fond memories and I will tell my mam who still lives down Cuckoo Lane. The area is now developed and my old friend Adam John now resides there. I now reside in Sydney, Australia and love the website.
I know that there is another house down the bottom of the lane behind a swampy marsh which I have been told is to be renovated, do you have any history on this house?

My father recently told me that that the exposed timber in his drawing room came from that cottage in Cuckoo Lane. I'm not surprised we had to have the house blessed twice during the 1970's!!!

My grandfather grew up in Haverfordwest around the time some of these photos were taken. Wonderful to have an idea of the place he grew up. Beautiful.
