WV7150 : Recollection

Recollection
An ornamental fountain at Gorey designed by Cyril Warren in 1976. The stone reads
RECOLLECTION
THIS SYMBOLIC KEEL
RECALLS THE
NINETEENTH CENTURY
SHIPYARDS
OF GOREY
Engraved on the sides of the keel are the names of 16 of the largest ships built at Gorey when ship construction was a thriving industry in the area during the 18th century. The idea of the fountain is to recall those days. The keel is laid on bricks possibly as old as Gorey's shipbuilding industry. They were taken from the old prison at Newgate Street. Link
