Warehouse occupied by Haverfordwest Agricultural Cooperative Society

Cadw's description

Location

The largest warehouse on the Old Quay facing E and the river.

History

The largest of the surviving Haverfordwest warehouses, possibly late C18 altered. It appears to be of later date than the small warehouse attached to S. Occupied by the Haverfordwest Agricultural Co-operative Society Ltd for much of C20.

Exterior

Warehouse, rubble stone with corrugated iron large mansard roof. Larger scale, four storeys and loft, seven bays, the centre bay altered in C20 and filled by large doors. The windows all have cambered heads with sandstone voussoirs, stone sills and boarded shutters. On the ground floor there are two broad segmental arched double doorways in the second and fifth bays, the window in first bay is bricked-up and there is a door in the third bay. The doors in the centre are probably C20 with brick sides and concrete lintels, double boarded doors. An old photograph also shows loading doors here, but narrower on the two upper floors.
Rear to Quay St of two storeys, has four widely spaced shuttered two-light windows over ground floor with three doors alternated with two windows, all with stone voussoirs. A blocked door set lower to extreme right. Some slate-hanging in broad N gable.

Interior

Not inspected.

Reason for designation

Included for its special architectural interest as the largest warehouse on the river, of visual importance on the quay.
