Description
Anglesey Railways Through Time by Mike Hitches explores the history of railways on the island of Anglesey off the north coast of Wales. The story begins in 1848 when a railway link was established between London and Dublin, with Robert Stephenson playing a key role in overcoming engineering challenges to create this route. The LNWR built a branch line from Gaerwen to Amlwch, which became the Anglesey Central Railway, first opening in around 1865 and completed by 1867. The railway played an important role in carrying mail across the Irish Sea, with the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company operating boats between Holyhead and Ireland. Today, only a few stations remain, including Llanfair P.G., Valley, and Holyhead. This book is a nostalgic look at Anglesey's railway heritage, featuring photographs and information about the railways that once connected the island to the mainland.
