We've been without a major entertainment venue in the city since 2019. Tonight we launch our call for the government to pledge their support - whether it's repair or rebuild - to getting the issue resolved.

That neck of the woods, yes.
I found out that I have 10 gears on my bike, its on 7th gear, at the moment. Yesterday we went to get coco pops, and the lady said to come today. We went today and the man said to come back in the afternoon. I am missing you.

British Railways (Western Region) - British Transport Catering Services : the Pembroke Coast Express menu & wine list card, November 1962 - covers. For many years special "named trains" 'express' or long distance train services were operated by British Railways and various of these dated back to the predecessor companies that existed before nationalisation in 1948 or grouping in 1923. One of the ex-Great Western Railway's services that was continued by the successor Western Region of BR was the "Pembroke Coast Express". This service did what its name suggested - leaving London Paddington (usually at 1030) and running non-stop to Newport and then on via some relatively small stations such as Whitland to arrive at Pembroke Dock around late afternoon. The 'up' trip returned leaving Pembroke at about 1300. The "named trains" usually had a full dining and catering offer and BR usually commissioned artwork for the menu and wine lists and this is the November 1962 version. The cover and back have a very contemporary feel and indeed BR and particularly British Transport Catering had generally high standards of production for such items in terms of the overall graphic design and typography. Annoyingly this version is anonymous but artists and designers such as Eric Fraser were much used. The interior of the card shows the wine list (with a by then quite dated typeface used for the "Wine List" heading or titling, as well as an inset pocket for the seperate dinner menu. 13/6d would get you a three course at table meal and you could wash that down with a wide choice of wines and spirts including the still available "GWR Special" blend of whisky! The graphics are stylised, in red, green & black, with bowls of fruit, falgons of wine and bowls inc. fish with script lettering for the front titles.
