NEW-QUAY, a port (small), in the parish of LLANLLWCHAIRN, union of ABERAERON, hundred of MOYTHEN, county of CARDIGAN,
SOUTH WALES, 15 miles (N. W. by W.) from Lampeter: the population is included in the return for the parish. This place is
advantageously situated on the shore of Cardigan bay, and affords good anchorage to vessels of small tonnage. The haven is
securely sheltered from the westerly winds, and, if improved to the extent of which it is susceptible, might easily be
made a safe retreat for ships of considerable burthen. The pier might be enlarged, for which purpose a subscription has
been opened with success; but the attempt has been hitherto frustrated by the want of a sufficient title to the land,
which would be requisite to carry that object into effect. In 1835 an act was obtained for making a road from this place
to Aberaeron. There are at present from sixty to seventy vessels belonging to the port, averaging, from forty to fifty
tons' burthen each, and employing from a hundred and fifty to two hundred men. Fish of very superior quality is found in
abundance on this part of the coast; soles, turbot, and oysters, being taken in great numbers during the season; and a
good herring fishery may also be established with advantage. The village is of considerable size, and is inhabited chiefly
by persons connected with the business of the port. A fair is held on November 12th.
