Ein Hanes/Our History

I noticed there's an on-going Cultural Blip Point Of Interest challenge aimed at showcasing 'your little corner of the world' to would-be visitors. 
This here is NOT the main subject for attention in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park but it is somewhere you might want to spend 10 minutes  during your stop in Fishguard to search, possibly in vain, for a public toilet. 

A group of volunteers opened this "heritage centre" a year ago in one of the town's many empty shop fronts, in order to collect and display material of historical interest to the locality. It has maps and memorabilia, faded photographs and recollections, books and brochures, souvenirs and survivals that people have loaned and donated. In our dreams it might receive funding to become a proper museum one day but that day is a long way off and for now the place consists of just the one space,  staffed by volunteers and free of charge to enter. Do pop in if you're passing. 

(And no, it doesn't have a toilet. We have to use the one in the town hall  next door too - when that's open. Almost all the rest have been closed to save money.)
