*************

Pembroke Castle (Welsh: Castell Penfro) is a medieval castle in Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The castle was the original family seat of the Earldom of Pembroke. A Grade I listed building since 1951, it underwent major restoration during the early 20th century.[1][2]

In 1093, Arnulf of Montgomery built the first castle at the site when he fortified the promontory beside the Pembroke River during the Norman invasion of Wales.[3] A century later, the castle was given by Richard I to William Marshal, who became one of the most powerful men in 12th-century Britain. He rebuilt Pembroke in stone creating most of the structure that remains today.

The castle is open to the public and is the largest privately-owned castle in Wales.

The Company was originally established as "Godfrey Philips Ltd." in London in 1844.[2] GPI was the first UK company to mass-produce cigarettes, apart of being one of the founding companies of Imperial Tobacco along with John Player & Sons.
