2014 is a very important date in the history of Pembroke Dock as it is the year when residents of the town, as well as former residents who have moved all over the globe, will be celebrating the town's bicentenary.

The town grew up to serve the needs of the flourishing Dockyard and it is unique in that it literally grew out of nothing as the dockyard was built on what nowadays we would term a 'Green Field Site'.

In order to celebrate the way in which the town has expanded to accommodate all its residents, the bicentenary committee is looking to hear from anyone who would like to write a short piece about their home and what they know about it.

Maybe several generations of your family have lived in the same house for many years and you can write about how the house and the area have changed over that time; perhaps you were one of the first people to live in one of the new developments in Pembroke Dock after the Second World War or in one of the new houses on the Bush Camp or Pennar estates; perhaps your house has a particularly interesting history which you would like to share with readers or maybe you built your own home.
