The inscription on Image, which I photographed thinking that it would save me from reading it at the time while the last minutes of my parking ticket slipped by. In fact, I could not make out all of the wording from the photo but a visitor to this website has kindly filled in my gaps - the full inscription reads: THIS Bridge was Erected at The sole Expense of Sr. JOHN PHILIPPS of Picton Castle Bart. Anno 1726. MICHAEL PRUST ESQr, MAYOR. In Memory whereof This was Set up by The Mayor and Council. Repaired by order of the Mayor and Corporation A.D. 1829 in the 10th year of the Reign of His Majesty George the Fourth, who Passed over this Bridge on his return from Ireland the 13th day of September 1821 THIS BRIDGE was widened and repaired in the Year 1848 UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE MAGISTRATES OF THE COUNTY OF THE TOWN OF HAVERFORDWEST AT THE EXPENSE OF THE SAID COUNTY
