This authentic 1970s colour photograph captures the historic Five Arches gatehouse and town walls in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales, in 1977. The image provides a factual record of this medieval limestone fortification, documenting the semi-circular barbican with several flags, including the Welsh Dragon and the Union Jack, flying from the battlements. Parked along the street in the foreground is a selection of period cars. Pedestrians in typical 1970s summer attire are seen walking near the arched entrance, highlighting the site’s role as a major thoroughfare and tourist landmark. The scene illustrates the preservation of Tenby’s ancient defensive structures within a modern late-twentieth-century context. As a self-contained archival record, this shot is an essential resource for local historians and collectors of vintage Welsh coastal and architectural photography.
