NUMBER 506

BENCHMARKS continued

Above: Looking north-west across Wexford Harbour with the 'mark on the top of the wall at centre left. That particular section of wall to the right was probably built after the New Bridge was removed, to prevent any motorists from accidentally driving into the harbour.
