Haverfordwest Town Museum - Pembrokeshire, Wales, Great Britain. - History Museums on Waymarking.com

Haverfordwest Castle was first mentioned in 1188. In the 13th century it withstood an attack by Llywelyn the Great. It was also strong enough to repulse an attack in 1405 during Owain Glyndwr's war of Welsh independence.

"since 1779 One of the most important roles of the castle was to act as a prison. In 1779 a prison for the county of Pembrokeshire was built within the remains of the castle. It was replaced in 1820 by a new prison building in the castle grounds, which now houses the Pembrokeshire Record Office." (visit link)
