William Owen Of all the people who shaped Haverfordwest, William Owen was one of the few who did so literally and substantially. Owen was the son of a cabinet maker and went on to become an architect. He designed much of the familiar Victorian Haverfordwest that can still be seen today. He built such landmarks as the New Bridge, which he also financed, and the Shire Hall as well as entire imposing terraces like Victoria Place. Not content to change the physical shape of Haverfordwest, Owen was also a four times mayor of the town and left his mark beyond bricks and mortar.
