Information about Milford Haven, UK
Milford Haven (Welsh: Aberdaugleddau, meaning "mouth of the two Rivers Cleddau") is a town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales. It was founded as a whaling centre in the 18th century and grew into a major port. It is the largest town in Pembrokeshire, with a population of 14,000.[1]
The town is served by Milford Haven railway station.
The current form is an anglicization, with Scandinavian origins. From the Old Norse, Melr, meaning sand hill or sandbank, and fjordr, meaning fiord or inlet, combined to create Milford. As the meaning of Fiord gradually became less clear over time, Haven was added to clarify its status as a town on the Haven.[2]
Attractions in the town include Fort Hubberstone, built in 1863 to defend the port, the docks and marina, and the ruins of an observatory. The town museum, located centrally in the docks area, is housed in the town's oldest building, the Custom House which dates back to 1797.[19] The town's main industry today is oil refining.
Milford Haven is also the natural harbour on which the town stands (and from which the town takes its name).
Since the mid 1990s tourism has provided a base for travellers, from which to explore the local coastline, and growing employment opportunities for locals.
The Torch Theatre, opened in 1970 and designed by local architect Monty Minter, is one of only three building-based producing theatres in the whole of Wales, and possesses its own independent theatre company[20
Milford has seen many ups and downs. At the height of the fishing boom, it was said that "every day was a pay day". The development of the oil industry also helped to boost the town's fortunes. However, the slumps have been just as severe. During the 80's and 90's, the town can be said to have become stagnant, with an extremely high unemployment rate which at times topped 30%, and no major industry. Into the new millennium, its fortunes seem to have risen, as can be witnessed in the activity surrounding the impending LNG terminal, and all the new building works which accompany it and its connection to the controversial South Wales Gas Pipeline. International tourism has also increased, with the arrival of transatlantic liners and the revenue they introduce to the town. The Port Authority is aiming to double the number of cruise ships it handles in the period to 2011.[22]
