'Mrs Morgan' was the author of 'A Tour to Milford Haven'.The wife of the Vicar of Ely, she visited Haverfordwest during the C19th.

Her book casts light on the state of the roads at this time. Although the roads in Haverfordwest are deemed good, not many townspeople kept carriages, because the roads leading out of town were 'deplorable'.

Mrs Morgan singles out the turnpike road from Haverfordwest to Honeyborough as being particularly bad.

Ladies often road side-saddle, but Mrs Morgan decides not to. Shefears her mount might stumbleon the many loose stones,throwing her, but she concedes the horses are used to the hazard for: 'It is surprising how the horses lift up their feet over them'.

On her journey to Honeyborough, south of Haverfordwest, Mrs Morgan meets drovers taking large numbers of bullocks to market in England. It couldnot have been apleasant experience, because she writes: 'The journey was attended with many alarms to me'.

Mrs Morgan sympathiseswith thejudges who cameto Pembrokeshire for the Assizes and had to put up with the discomforts of travelling on poor roads.

Local people are not deterred from travelling, however.

In 1851, theomnibus for Carmarthen left Salutation Square on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at eight o'clock in the morning. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdys it departed from 'The Old Swan' at half past elevenin the morning.

Each day an omnibus left 'The King's Arms', bound for Milford Haven.On Tuesday and Saturdays passengers for St. David's gathered at 'The Mariners Hotel' to board the four o'clock omnibus.

Three carriers left for Cardigan on a Thursday, driven by John Thomas, James Williams and Henry Hanson. Evidently, Haverfordwest was not an isolated town.
