Ropeyard barn conversion
Two cottages have been created from this old barn in the part of the town still called Ropeyard: a remnant of the past in an otherwise modern residential area.

Ropeyard Lane
These houses are no doubt contemporary with the rope making industry in Fishguard but the surrounding area was developed in the second half of the C20 as a residential estate of neat bungalows in quiet culs de sac.

Horses and magpies
Slim pickings for the horses in this grassless paddock, although they had hay supplied. The magpies (left) seemed to be finding plenty to peck at however.
Below lie Fishguard High School's pitches bounded by the new access road from West Street. The red funnel of the ferry to Rosslare is visible in the harbour.

Former intermediate school, Fishguard
The old school was turned into Fishguard community education centre and is accessed from the back, the result being that one rarely sees its frontage.
An old postcard view shows that it was once an imposing sight perched up above the town before present-day infill housing.
It was replaced with the new junior school in 2011.

Bigney Hill: peaceful now
This is the hill around which, in February 1797, the cobbler Jemima Nicholas is said to have marched her troop of Welsh women, dressed in their red shawls and black hats. Legend has it that the invading French force took them for an endless stream of British soldiers and, feeling hopelessly outnumbered, laid down their arms. This story may or may not be apocryphal.

Y Bigney, from the north
The same hill can be seen from the opposite direction in Image It is an area of rough grazing with a substantial coverage of gorse.
The conical stone standing in the field does not possess any archaeological significance.
