            The Postcard

A postally unused postcard that was published by Arthur Squibbs, Photographer. The card has a divided back, and the image is a glossy real photograph.

Arthur is recorded as operating from Warren Street, Tenby from 1906 until 1926. He also ran a studio in Water Street, Pembroke Dock until 1926, and 50, Charles Street Milford Haven from 1914 until 1923. 

Pembroke Castle

Pembroke Castle is a medieval castle in the centre of Pembroke, Pembrokeshire in Wales. The castle was the original family seat of the Earldom of Pembroke. 

A Grade I Listed building since 1951, it underwent major restoration during the early 20th. century.

In 1093, Arnulf of Montgomery built the first castle at the site when he fortified the promontory beside the Pembroke River during the Norman invasion of Wales. 

A century later, the castle was given by Richard I to William Marshal, who became one of the most powerful men in 12th.-century Great Britain. He rebuilt Pembroke Castle in stone, creating most of the structure that remains today. 

The castle was in use up to the mid-17th. Century.

The castle is open to the public and is the largest privately owned castle in Wales.

The castle is owned and controlled by the Philipps family.
