Viewed from the street named Cartlett near the entrance to Haverfordwest railway station. If the milepost dates from the opening of the station in 1854, the distance shown (to London Paddington) is the old route via Gloucester and Bath. The opening of the Severn Tunnel route in 1886 and the Chipping Sodbury & Badminton route in 1903 reduced the distance from 276 miles.
