Rosebush, Pembrokeshire history

---

Rosebush did not exist as a village before slate began to be quarried nearby in the early 19th century. The village took its name from Rosebush quarry when houses were built for quarry workers.

Slate quarrying

Quarrying at Rosebush began in 1842 and continued until the end of the century. The quarry supplied slate for the roof of Westminster Palace. Slate was ferried around the county by the old railway.

Railway

In 1876 a railway line from Clynderwen to Rosebush was opened by the Narberth Road and Maenclochog Railway company. The line closed in 1882 and the name changed to North Pembrokeshire and Fishguard Railway in 1884. The Great Western Railway took over in 1898 and the line was closed to passengers in 1937 and to freight in 1949. During World War II the railway line across the moorland was used by British and USA air forces for target practice.

Forgery charge

In 1881, former Lincolnshire curate John Frederick Morgan was committed for trial for stealing a cheque book and passing forged cheques for £50 and £27.10s. He was allowed bail and subsequently pleaded guilty at trial.

Explosion

On the evening of June 2013 an explosive device was detonated inside a letter box in the village, destroying the box and scattering cast iron fragments.
