The old lifeboat station nestles below Castle Hill, but it is exposed to the southerly and southwesterly gales. This was the first lifeboat station for Tenby but it appeared to have had a relatively short life 1894-1905. No doubt the authorities decided on a more sheltered location north of Castle Hill. This plaque records this building original use as the Tenby Lifeboat Station. Image
