Goodwick, The Village 1899

More about this scene
In pre-ferry days, Goodwick was simply a small fishing village. It was on the sands here that the French invasion army laid down its arms — with the exception of 25 who could not attend due to temporary incapacity (they were ill or probably drunk on looted wine). The total casualties were 8 French drowned, 12 French killed and one Welshwoman killed in a pub when a pistol was accidentally discharged. Note the boats pulled up above the high- water mark, the free-range livestock grazing, and the vegetable plot by the cottage.
