Pembroke

Seaport and engineering centre in Pembrokeshire, southwest Wales; population (2001) 15,950. Henry VII was born in Pembroke Castle in 1457. Pembroke Dock was created in 1814 in conjunction with the Royal Navy dockyard, and there is now some light industry in the refurbished dock areas. Tourism is a growing industry. A car ferry operates between here and Rosslare in the Republic of Ireland.

Originally founded in 1090 by the Norman Lord Grimley de Montgomery, the castle was completely rebuilt around 1207 by William Marshall, the greatest English knight of the Middle Ages, and remains largely unaltered today.
