Anglesey - Frances Lynch

The dramatic and stunning Welsh coastal landscapes of the island
of Anglesey are documented in this beautiful pictorial record of
the history of Anglesey's coast, from prehistoric times to the
present day. The fact that Anglesey is an island has been crucial
to its history, its coast the scene of prehistoric fishing and
oyster catching, Neolithic tombs and Bronze Age round barrows,
Roman influenced villas, Irish incursions, a Norman motte and the
last of the great Edwardian castles to be built at Beaumaris, the
development of Holyhead into its main port in the nineteenth
century, and the growth of sustainable energy in the form of wind
turbines in the twentieth. The photography taken by Mick Sharp
and Jean Williamson is supplemented by text by Frances Lynch who
introduces each chapter and provides detailed captions describing
and providing background information to the photographs.
