A brand new school but they forgot to provide accommodation for the outdoor toys hence the "shed".

Lane in East Williamston

Most of the village is on a lane that loops away from the old main road and back again. This is the narrow part on the north-east side.

Milestone, Redberth

Probably one of the original turnpike milestones. It gives whole miles from Carmarthen and the distance to the nearest yard to Pembroke. However, it is well over 6 miles from Pembroke. See SN0403 : Another precise (but wrong) milestone for a hypothesis to explain the discrepancy.

St Elidyr Church, East Williamston

An information board in the village states, "The name Williamston dates from the Middle Ages when Anglo-Norman influence was strong. Traces of the system of farming of that period can be seen in the long narrow fields of the present landscape. The green is part of the village common. The church was built in stone at this time (and largely rebuilt in the 19th century)." "WILLIAMSTON, a chapelry, in the parish of Begelly, union and hundred of Narberth, county of Pembroke, South Wales, 4 miles (N. W.) from Tenby; containing 495 inhabitants. It is situated on the high road between Pembroke and Carmarthen. Coal is obtained here. The chapel is a rude edifice, without tower or spire." (A Topographical Dictionary of Wales - S. Lewis, 1849)
