Liddeston "Long" Stone The surviving stump of this standing stone is presumably an abbreviated version of its former stature - unless its name was intended ironically! Fragments of the old red sandstone of which it is formed lie crumbled around the base and it can only be a matter of time before the entire stone is weathered out of existence, or ploughed under. The situation is the crest of a hill close to two ancient fortifications and the present-day village of Liddeston. Across the valley to the west lies one of Milford's old oil refineries.

Liddeston short Long Stone Another view showing the remaining portion of the stone with broken shards lying roundabout. Unfortunately I have not been able to find an image of how it used to look nor information on how long it has been in this sorry state.

What on earth is it? The streetname gives the game away but there is nothing on the OS map, nor in the Pevsner Architectural Guide, to prepare you for this sight of an early C19 observatory lurking in the middle of a C20 housing estate here in the Milford Haven suburb of Hakin. Although in private ownership it is a Grade One monument.

Hakin observatory This surprising structure can be found nestled cheek by jowl with the modern housing and back-yard clutter that has accumulated around it since it was built by Charles Francis Greville (1749-1809) in the early years of the C19 as part of a planned mathematics, engineering and technical college. Thomas Firminger (1775-1861), previously Assistant to Nevil Maskelyne at Greenwich, was appointed briefly as superintendent. An excellent collection of instruments was assembled, including the celebrated Lee transit circle. The plans were abandoned after Greville's death due to a lack of money and interest and although the observatory was completed, the college itself never came into being.
