After closing its doors to the public and putting its collection into storage, funding from Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and the Welsh Government enabled the trust to restore this historic building.

For over 100 years, this was where the firm of James Williams Ltd blended and bottled whisky, rum, brandy and port and stored it duty-free until it was sold on. Security at ‘the Bond’ was tight but this modern museum now welcomes visitors with research facilities, a community room, exhibitions, interactive displays, a coffee shop and a gift shop. More information can be found on the official Narberth Museum website.

Pauline Griffiths, Curator at Narberth Museum, said: "This is a culmination of tremendous amount of hard work and dedication by our army of volunteers over a long and turbulent nine year period. We are also indebted to our professional team who have been sensitive to the impact of this project on our neighbours. And finally we would to thank our funders who without their support our dream would not have become a reality."
