Bastards Town

mondeo

Has anyone ever been to this place in Wexford?

Why is it called bastards town? Are the people there not offended by the name of their town? Does it have a big population?

If I was to go to bastards town tomorrow what would I expect to see there?
A shower of bastards or nice people?

Thanks

+ strawberries..

who what when

Its a small townsland which was named after a french person who's second name happened to be bastard and most likely pronounced much differently. This was several hundred years ago so bastard probably wasnt a swear word back then!

Ha. There is a font called Bastard.

The Bastard face is an exploration of the blackletter face (the earliest types, similar to those made by Gutenberg, and based upon monastic script) with a simple kit of parts. The face is available in three weights: Spindly Bastard, Fat Bastard, and Even Fatter Bastard.

someday i'm going to go to Piltown and have my photo taken at the welcome sign in a happy faced teeshirt, sunglasses and holding lightsticks.

Both Paradise and Horestown are only a short drive from Bastardstown, maybe the council called them that as a joke!

Wexfords great for place names - very close to bastardstown is horestown, the two surely linked...not that far from foulksmills (pronounced of course, ****smills)...

Aoifey!

When I used to play football for Horeswood in Wexford when I was little, all the other teams would call us the whores from the wood

NoDice

Brilliant. That's going on my list of places I have to go to and take pictures of me beside the sign..

I still giggle at "Uranus"...

Yep. Went for the laugh.
There's nothing to see but a few houses and a stony beach. No hilarious sign-posts, no gift-shops selling bastardstown mugs or t-shirts.
You wouldn't even know you where there but for GPS.
They shouldn't have such an entertaining place name if they're not prepared to back it up somehow... bastards.
