A group of youngsters have put the focus on their home town this summer.
In an unique photography project, members of Milford Haven Youth Centre have created works of art from the people and places of home.
The 11 to 16 year-olds have assembled mosaics of well known Milford places using tiny snaps of local people.
The patchwork images will go on display at the Torch Theatre Gallery in September before embarking on a small tour of the county.
Afterwards the pictures will be auctioned off to raise funds for the youth club’s annual Christmas Dinner for pensioners.
Community Youth Worker Nick Hudd said the project had helped the young people connect with their community.
“While photographing people and places in Milford this summer they have learnt a great deal about the history of our town and the many different people who live in it.
“The fact that they have chosen to auction their work to aid the town’s senior citizens shows their commitment to being active and constructive members of a community they themselves are helping to shape.”
The exhibition will be launched by the Chairman of Pembrokeshire County Council, Councillor Wynne Evans on September 3rd.
The pictures will be on view at the Torch Gallery until September 22nd.
