"Narrow Grade II Listed clock tower building of uncertain date possibly around 1829, altered in 1899 when purchased by the council. Shown by a map of 1787 the building is probably on the site of the Pembroke Town Hall, demolished about 1820, where Wesley preached in the 18th century. Occupied by baker 'Bessie the Clock' Matthews late in the 19th century the tower was repaired in 1879 by G H Barrett. Originally single story the wings are said to have been a fish-market and had a water tap at the right end supplied from a stone water tank behind. The wings were raised to two storey and then to three in 1899. The clock works are reportedly marked 'Thwaites & Reed London 1829'.Text Source; (
