Constituency Crowds Dyfed Election Elections Haverfordwest Pembrokeshire Voters Voting December January
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the bustling High Street of Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales, comes alive with the energy and excitement of election time. The year is 1910, and the townspeople have gathered to cast their votes in not one, but two general elections that took place that year – one in January and the other in December. The crowd is a vibrant mix of men and women, young and old, all dressed in their finest attire, reflecting the importance and gravity of the political event. The atmosphere is electric, with animated conversations and heated debates taking place amongst the crowd. Some individuals hold up campaign posters, while others engage in lively discussions with their neighbors. The sense of community and civic duty is palpable, as the people of Haverfordwest come together to exercise their right to vote and shape the future of their constituency and the nation. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in the town's history, as the political landscape of South Wales and the rest of the country was undergoing significant changes. The elections of 1910 marked a turning point in the political climate, with the Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister H.H. Asquith, narrowly retaining power. The scene in Haverfordwest reflects the social and political tensions of the time, as well as the enduring spirit of the Welsh people and their commitment to democratic processes. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich tapestry of Welsh political history. The image invites us to reflect on the importance of civic engagement and the power of community in shaping the course of history.
