Milford takes its name from the Milford Haven Waterway, a natural harbour on which the town stands. It is a relatively modern town, founded at the end of the eighteenth century on land owned by Sir William Hamilton, but the neighbouring parishes of Steynton and Hubberston are much older, with medieval churches. Hakin, a thriving community within the latter parish, was for many years a centre of shipbuilding and the terminus of a mail service to Ireland. The new port of Milford attracted the whaling fleet and was the venue for the Royal Dockyard until 1814.The decline of the fishing fleet provided an opportunity in the late 1950s for the Haven to embrace the oil industry. More recently, as an LNG importation port, it has again become one of the largest ports in the country. The last twenty years have seen a transition at Milford from working docks to a busy marina with cafes, restaurants and shops.

This book was released on 1999. Milford Haven available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In June 1790, Sir William Hamilton received Royal Assent to build the new town and port of Milford in the Manor or Lordship of Hubberston and Pill, which he had inherited from his first wife, Catherine Barlow of Slebech. His nephew, Charles Francis Greville, supervised the building task and persuaded two leading American Quaker whaling families - the Folgers and Starbucks - to come to the town. This heralded the beginnings of Milford Haven. This informative collection of around 200 photographs tells the story of Milford Haven from earliest times, taking in the formation of the Haven itself, as well as the development of the town as a fishing port and later a centre for oil refineries. The book shows how, in 1874, work began on a floating dock, which has been designed for use by transatlantic trade, and how Milford was destined to become the fifth biggest fishing port in Britain.When fishing fell into irreversible decline in the late 1950s and oil, in the form of five international companies came to the rescue, Milford Haven became the largest oil port in Europe. This book provides an unparalleled insight into the Waterway and Town of Milford Haven and gives a glimpse of the streets of the town and the people who lived there, at work and leisure. Many of these photographs are in print for the first time and will provide much nostalgic pleasure for many.
