MILFORD Haven is a leading UK port town lying on an inlet of the Celtic Sea.

It was founded in 1793 and has had time as one of the leading naval dockyards, Irish packet service, whaling industry and as a fishing port.

Since 1960, the town has been home to one of Europe's leading oil ports and is one of the only ports in western Europe that can accommodate the largest tankers and is home to around 13,000 people.

Here we look back at what Milford Haven was like over the last century.
