A steel sculpture called By Hook or by Crook marking the nearby presence of the Pierce Engineering Ltd site. Along with the tractor seat stools outside Tesco's entrance. Founded in 1839, Pierces Foundry grew into one of Wexford Town's largest employers. The foundry produced a wide range of engineering and agricultural machinery-everything from hearth fans and bellows to threshing machines, ploughs, and other cultivation equipment. At one time, it was considered Ireland's largest factory of its kind, with exports reaching Europe, Africa, and the Americas. During World War I, Pierces Foundry shifted its production to brass shell cases. These were dispatched by train from Wexford to designated filling stations, where they were armed with explosives before being sent to the front lines in Europe. Despite its industrial success, the factory eventually went into decline and finally ceased operations in 2002. The main building was later demolished to make way for a Tesco store.
