Description
Anglesey, an island off north-west Wales, boasts a rich and complex history. Its unique geological foundations, featuring some of the oldest rocks in Wales, have left an indelible mark on its development. From ancient standing stones and burial chambers to its transformation into a holy place, agricultural village, and bustling town, Anglesey's story is one of diverse faces over the centuries. The island's history is also marked by significant engineering feats, including Thomas Telford's Menai Suspension Bridge and Robert Stephenson's Britannia Bridge. This book offers a fresh perspective on Anglesey's often-overlooked episodes and characters, revealing the lesser-known aspects of its fascinating past through fully illustrated pages.
