Menai Suspension Bridge

The world's first major suspension bridge, it was designed by Thomas Telford and completed in 1826. A Grade I structure, it spans the Menai Strait between Anglesey and the Welsh mainland. Viewed from the Welsh mainland side of the Menai Strait.

Commemoration plaques at St George's Pier, Menai Bridge

Top to bottom: Original opening in 1904; opening following reconstruction in 1979; centenary in 2004. On the opposite stone pier are two further plaques: opening following an earlier reconstruction in 1969, and a Welsh translation of the 1979 plaque.

Entrance to the Promenade, Menai Bridge

The building and gates probably formed a toll complex for the St George's Pier of 1904. The building is now an ice cream kiosk.

The scene of a Marathon, Menai Bridge

Spectators, stewards and road closures in place for the Anglesey Half Marathon 2021. This Marathon evidently spanned from the mainland side of the Menai Suspension Bridge, through Menai Bridge and beyond Beaumaris.

Moreia Welsh Baptist Church, Menai Bridge

An entirely ruinous Chapel on Dale Street; recently used as a makeshift market hall of sorts, but now clearly of an unsustainable condition.

An ice house near Craig-y-Don, Menai Bridge

Located in dense woodland between Beaumaris Road and the shore of the Menai Strait. This ice house seemingly served Craig-y-Don House, located a fair distance Eastwards.

Railway Institute Date Stone

The date stone that sat above the entrance to the L & N. W. Railway Institute on Euston Rd, Bangor. The building was demolished 2016 in preparation for a new development. The date stone now sits on the ground in the parking area. No new development has been built as of 2021

This Link

seems to be the only branch of Waitrose in Wales north of Abergavenny. The long distance to any other branch (the nearest is Chester, over 65 miles away) might be thought to be a problem for the supply chain, but the store appeared to be well stocked.
