On a mission to Geograph this square I was amazed to come upon these sizable ruins of an old mill. The bridge and some of the building are stone, the brick structure is perhaps a later addition. There is no water course here now but the Western Cleddau flows only yards away and would no doubt have provided the supply. It was a cotton mill around 1786, the largest textile mill in S. Wales then, with over 1500 spindles. It was converted to a paper mill in 1816 and Haverfordwest was noted for its paper at that time. A large mill house, not ruined, is on the photographer's right.
