Description
The island of Anglesey, off the north-west coast of Wales, has a long and fascinating history. Its ancient geology has created a special habitat for wildlife and it has also been a heartland for Welsh culture from the time of the Iron Age Druids to the present day. This book explores the places and people that make Anglesey special, including churches, chapels, lighthouses, large landowning families, and prominent individuals. The island's natural world, economy, social structures, and industry are also examined in detail. With its rich history and unique character, A-Z of the Isle of Anglesey reveals the stories behind the island and how it was shaped over time. Fully illustrated with photography, this book provides a broad picture of Anglesey's history through the ages, bringing to life the story of how the island of today came to be.
