Diamond Jubilee Memorial

The Sgadan Abergwaun, or Fishguard Herrings, is a striking bronze sculpture located on the Quayside of Lower Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, South Wales. Created by local artist John Cleal in 2006, this impressive piece features a shoal of herrings elevated atop a 26-tonne Preseli boulder, commemorating the region's historic herring industry.

The sculpture not only pays tribute to the local economy—once reliant on herring as a vital food source—but also serves as a cultural landmark for the community, whose people were historically referred to as 'sgadan Abergwaun.' As a focal point of the picturesque harbour, it encapsulates the rich maritime heritage of Fishguard.
