pembroke town wall THE historic gun platform that helped defend Pembroke town against Oliver Cromwell in the siege of Pembroke in 1648 has had its front wall restored. Scaffolding has moved to the east side of the wall where restoration work continues. Pembroke Wall Trust is asking the public to donate a stone, along with a £5 donation, to their Pledge a Stone in the Gun Platform campaign. The trust hope their campaign will match the £4,215 grant they were given by the Welsh restoration service Cadw. Once this money is raised, they will be able to conserve the western wall of the gun platform.
