Most of the men work in Pembroke
dockyard, leaving their homes at 4:30
or in the morning for long journey

men are not home until In the even

the village do the work that in every
other place is done by men.
Some years ago when the fishing
feet went down the haven the wom-

red skirts and fat felt hats.
But now the influence Of modernity
is felt even in Llangwm. and only the
older women wear the garments which
