On the Anglesea shore, at the northern entrance to the strait, is the picturesque ruin of Beaumaris Castle, built by Edward I. at a point where vessels could conveniently land. It stands on the lowlands, and a canal connects its ditch with the sea. It consists of a hexagonal line of outer defences surrounding an inner square.
One day, therefore, when she was helping her master to harness a horse the bit touched her, and she disappeared instantly and was never seen from that time forth. In another case, said to have happened in Anglesea, a girl got into a fairy-circle while looking, with her father, for a lost cow.
Fruit trees do not thrive; but having grown a few years, reach some barren stratum and wither. We found Mr. Griffiths not at home; but the provisions were good. Mr. Griffiths came home the next day. I read Lloyd's account of Mona, which he proves to be Anglesea. In our way to Bryn o dol, we saw at Llanerk a Church built crosswise, very spacious and magnificent for this country.
"By the steam-packet Halcyon?" "And you were on board the Halcyon when she blew up?" "I was knocked overboard the moment before, and in that manner I escaped." "And what became of you?" "I was drifted by the waves towards the Isle of Anglesea: a few miles to the southward of Holyhead I was picked up by I know not whom. Afterwards I obtained a passage to the main land."
Until this moment a breath less silence pervaded the watching multitude; and nothing was heard among the working party on the Anglesea side but the steady tramp of the men at the capstans, the shrill music of the fife, and the occasional order to "Hold on!" or "Go along!"

Fifty-seven of the intended vertical suspending rods, each nearly ten feet long and an inch square, having been fastened together, a piece of chain was attached to one end to make the chord line 570 feet in length; and experiments having been made and comparisons drawn, Mr.
Even to this day I am capable of regretting that suit, and certainly I often see children now whose costumes are at least equally absurd. A tour in Wales in 1842. Extracts from my journal of this tour. My inborn love for beautiful materials. Stay at Rhyl. Anglesea and Caernarvon. Reasons for specially remembering this tour.
To the west his arms crushed the long resistance of Elmet, the district about Leeds; he was master of Chester, and the fleet he equipped there subdued the isles of Anglesea and Man. South of the Humber he was owned as overlord by the five English states of Mid-Britain. The West-Saxons remained awhile independent. But revolt and slaughter had fatally broken their power when Eadwine attacked them.
In Merionethshire, according to Professor Ramsay, the Lingula Flags attain their greatest development; in Carnarvonshire they thin out so as to have lost two- thirds of their thickness in eleven miles, while in Anglesea and on the Menai Straits both they and the Tremadoc beds are entirely absent, and the Lower Silurian rests directly on Lower Cambrian strata. Paradoxides Davidis, Salter.
This happened from the fact that the king, in the course of his conquests in that country, had seized upon a place called Caernarvon, and had built a castle there, in a beautiful situation on the Straits of Menai, which separate the main land from the isle of Anglesea.
