Hello Denise The Inn was called the Ivorites Arms - it was named after a Friendly Society "Ivorities". Thomas Philips took it over in October 1856. It was located at the Old Bridge which is included in Prendergast district in the census even though it is down in Haverfordwest town. In 1868 the Inn closed and Tom Phillips moved to Cartlett and opened up another Inn called the Ivorites Arms. It overlooked the Kilns in Prospect Place. This area is also included in Prendergast district in the census. I got most of the details from " The Pubs of Haverfordwest Milford Haven and Mid-west Pembrokeshire" by Keith Johnson where it also states that Thomas Phillips was an uncle of the "wellknown" W.D Phillips (well-known is my comment!!!) Thomas Phillips was the son of James and Ann Phillips who ran the Bull Inn in Prendergast. This Inn is still there. I can send you more information off-list if you would like. I don't think they are linked to my Phillips family from PEM (there are so many Phillips in Pembrokeshire) but as Haverfordwest was my hometown I have collected lots of info about people and places.
