The Dry Dock and Timber Pond in Pembroke Dockyard (Part 3)

How the Pembroke Dockyard is Used  - with Plans for Its Future Too!

The diagram below shows what I believe to be the current usage and proposed usage of Pembroke Dockyard.

I would be delighted to receive more information that might correct or add to the diagram.


Dockyard Buildings under Threat - These are structures that I believe are to be filled in or destroyed by Milford Haven Port Authority (MHPA)and replaced by concrete slab.

Dockyard Wall - The line of the present existing dockyard wall. Parts of this are due to be demolished by MHPA.

Ferry Terminal - Land used by the Irish Ferry operation. This includes customs, parking etc. The area may be more extensive.

Listed Building - The grades of listing vary from Grade II through Grade II* to Grade I, Grade I being the most important.

Mainstay Marine - Land used by this company. This company is largely owned by MHPA.

Land owned by Pembrokeshire County Council (PCC) - Currently empty and derelict.

PCC Waste Recycling Site - Leased by PCC from MHPA. It is believed that there are about two years left to run on the lease.

Preserved Dockyard Buildings - Many owned by MHPA, some under private ownership.

Super Slip - Surviving slipways 1 and 2 will be converted into one large super slip under current proposals by MHPA.

The Commodore - Privately owned but in a derelict and parlous state.

The Paddock - Former grounds attached to Admiralty House (The Commodore). Owned by MHPA who intend to build on it.

Through Route - MHPA propose to run a route for the movement of large structures through the site.

Waste Transfer Area - Area subject to development as a waste transfer facility, subject to a recent successful application for a license from Natural Resources Wales. A strange one this - perhaps it enables the acquisition of extra funding to carry out works on the western part of the yard? Just a hypothesis.

Unshaded areas on the map are those for which I have no information as yet.

I have yet to see MHPA's latest version of the plans they have for Pembroke Dockyard, so I have not include sheds and other buildings that they propose to build.

If you have anything to add to this post that will improve its veracity, or any other comments, please let me know.

[Edit on 11 March 2020:I have been told that this is a terrible map. Perhaps done in haste - It was quite easy to do on Google Earth. I will see If I can improve on it. Might take a few days! ]
