Anglesey is an island steeped in history. Situated off the North Wales
Coast, Anglesey (Ynys Mon in Welsh) has seen many people come and go.
Prehistoric standing stones and burial chambers dot the landscape
alongside Iron Age and Roman era settlements, medieval churches, fishing
villages, Victorian towns and modern industrial sites. Towns such as
Llangefni and Beaumaris are pictured with their modern shopfronts
alongside images of their old, simpler facades. The Menai and Britannia
Bridges are shown with their older structures compared to their current
refurbished forms. Seaside towns are pictured teeming with sailing ships
in the old days and pleasure cruisers today. This book aids those who
are discovering the island for the first time, as well as residents
wondering what it looked like in their grandparents' days.
