    3. For those of us with ancestors connected with Pembroke Dock 2014 will be an interesting year as it is the bi-centenary of the opening of the dockyard and a committee has been formed to co-ordinate the various events which are listed on their website. http://www.pembrokedock.org/bicentenary/program.htm "The History of Pembroke Dock" written by Mrs Stuart Peters and published in 1905 has been for many of us an invaluable source of information. It has been out of print for a very long time but it has now been republished by the committee, although I could not find it on their website. However it is available on the Sunderland Trust website http://www.sunderlandtrust.org.uk/products/category-books/ You will have to scroll to the very bottom of the page to find it. The Bi-Centenary Committee have alsoobtained an award from the Heritage lottery fund to honour this historic milestone by producing a 3D digital reconstruction of the former Royal Dockyard and the earliest streets and buildings in the town, in partnership with De Montfort University Leicester's Digital Heritage Department whowill be using the latest technology including 3D laser scanning and virtual reality simulation. Eventually it will be availableon line. http://www.thedock.org.uk/digital/index.htm Kind regards Joy
