Shire Hall, Haverfordwest

The Shire Hall, located in the heart of Haverfordwest, Wales, is a stunning Grade II* listed neoclassical building completed in 1837. Originally designed by William Owen, it served as the meeting place for the Pembrokeshire County Council and features an impressive symmetrical facade with Ionic pilasters and elegant round-headed windows. The hall has a rich history, including hosting significant trials such as that of a leader of the Rebecca Riots and a notorious murder case in 1950. After years of public use, including concerts by the Haverfordwest Male Voice Choir, the building underwent extensive refurbishment in 2010. Today, it stands as a testament to the town's historical and architectural heritage, making it a noteworthy stop for tourists and researchers alike.
