Photo of Fishguard, The Square 1959

More about this scene

This is not so much of a square as a roundabout these days. There is no car parking today, but a busy road junction with a cannon in the centre. The shop in the centre of the photo at this time was run by A Francis, to the left was W R Eynon and Sons, General Ironmongers. The Abergwaun Hotel still trades. The Royal Oak, part of which can be seen on the right has the claim to fame of reputedly being the place in which the official surrender of the invasion was signed on 22 February 1797. Note the rubber-tyred horse-drawn cart in the foreground.

The author of Pembrokeshire book describes this pic as houses on the edge of the cliff. The buildings are actually an ex wartime camp containing a searchlight unit and some coastal guns. Now a caravan park.
