Anglesey
"Geography has accorded Anglesey a greater sense of identity than other counties of Wales. Despite its relative isolation, Anglesey gained early recognition. As the last stronghold of the Druids it became a target for the Roman legions. Viking connections gave the island its English name. During the Age of the Princes the supremacy of Aberffraw overshadowed all other Welsh seats of government. Beaumaris castle stands as a symbol of the English conquest, built to quash the spirit of independence." "Other forces would exert a decisive influence: the strong maritime links, industrialization associated with copper mining at Parys Mountain, improved communications following the spanning of the Menai Straits, and the impact of two World Wars. All are given their vital place alongside developments in social and economic life, religion, education, politics and Welsh culture. This is the first book to present an integrated outline survey of Anglesey's history from prehistoric times to the changes and challenges of the modern age."--BOOK JACKET.
Anglesey Through Time
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.

This fully updated, tenth edition is full colour with chart graphics, aerial views and nearly 100 original photos.
