Stack Rock

Skerry occupied by a fort/gun emplacement defending Milford Haven. Completed in 1871 replacing an older emplacement built after the defeat of the original Napoleon.

Former refinery pier, Milford Haven

Pier that supplied the closed Exxon refinery. Much activity here now, including work on pipes. Unsure if demolition work or that the pier is now used by another enterprise. Stack Rock fort in the distance.

Pier, Exxon refinery

The refinery has closed and been dismantled, only two Milford Haven refineries remain. There is a lot of activity on the pier, possibly demolition work. If so, this square could soon be "all at sea" again.

Old refinery pier

Pipe sections on the old Exxon refinery pier. There is a lot of work going on here, floating cranes, hard hats swarming over the remains of the loading pier. Not sure if it's being demolished, or used for another purpose. My guess is that these sections are awaiting offloading. Milford Haven is a very fine deepwater harbour, hence the oil industry. A pier like this could find new uses, but as there is nearly 3km of it, upkeep could be a problem without the backing of "Big Oil".

Ancient Tower, Angle

This ancient tower is next to Castle Farm on a track to the rear of the village of Angle. It is a few years now since I visited it. It is (or at least was) open to the public and I was able to look around inside including climbing stairs to an upper floor and there are some informative plaques. Despite this I have been able to find nothing about it on the web. The tower is just north of the gridline and the photo was taken from practically astride it by my estimation. See also a close-up of the tower here SM8603 : The Tower, Angle

The Tower, Angle

A close-up picture of the SM8603 : Ancient Tower, Angle. The tower is on a track that runs roughly parallel and to the north of the main lane through the village of Angle. It is situated next to Castle Farm, though I think this structure was never more than a fortified house as opposed to a castle.
