Houses in The Slade
Image: © Natasha Ceridwen de Chroustchoff Taken: 9 Jun 2010
Tightly packed houses on one side of The Slade, a steep street going down to the old harbour. The name, which is not Welsh, is usually said to derive from an Old English word for valley or slope, alternatively it has been suggested that it was related to slide since boats were once built and launched at the bottom of the hill. Beyond, houses can be seen on higher ground in West Street.
