Bank Terrace, off the Slade
A terraced row of four small cottages that have benefited from improvements in recent years. Originally, they would no doubt have been very simple, two-up/two-down dwellings for working people perhaps employed at the lime kilns or the shipyard in Carreg-yr-Eos cove nearby.

Roofs in The Slade
Looking down the hill from Penslade the roofs of houses and cottages in The Slade can be seen descending in stepped formation. One or two of them may date back 200 years - there were thriving fishing and boat building industries in the harbour below as well as two lime kilns.
The wooded area behind is the steep bank behind St Mary's church (belfry visible above).

Holiday cottage in the Slade, a steep lane leading to the limekilns and the old harbour. The origin of the cottage's charming name is not known to me.

The Monthly Tutor's Cottage in The Slade
For years I wondered about the name of this old cottage, thought to have be built around 1810. It is now a holiday let and its website explains that the tenant during the 1850s/60s was a stonemason's widow named Mary Morgan who took charge of Fishguard's orphaned and abandoned children in return for a monthly salary paid by the town fathers and chapel elders for the service she provided. Was it the 1861 census officer who listed the illiterate but benevolent Mary as a "monthly tutor" or did she describe herself as such? Mary herself died a pauper in 1891 at the age of 70.
