Templeton Aerodrome
Now derelict, it was built in 1942/43 as a satellite airfield to Haverfordwest.
The community became very involved with the servicemen's
welfare and the local women's voluntary service opened a YMCA at the
congregational chapel. The village also had an active Home Guard Unit
with defensive positions near the Boar's Head. The road here was set to
blow up if invasion should occur! Templeton Aerodrome was finally
closed in June, 1945, but it remains in Ministry of Defence control and
is used on occasions for military exercises.
