Download or read book Crossing the Menai written by Reg Chambers Jones and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Menai Strait, separating the island of Anglesey from the mainland, has historically been a major obstacle to communication in north-west Wales. From the earliest recorded crossing by the forces of the Roman general Suetonius Paulinus in 61AD, to the completion of Thomas Telford's suspension bridge in 1826, this narrow stretch of water caused travellers to take their lives in their hands. Crossing the Menai chronicles the story of the various ferries that operated for hundreds of years and the two bridges that were hailed as marvels of nineteenth-century civil engineering. Profusely illustrated, in both colour and monochrome, this book examines both the people (ferry operators and passengers) and the boats that crossed from Bangor to Beaumaris and Porthaethwy, Y Felinheli (Port Dinorwic) to Moel-y-Don and Caernarfon to Tal-y-Foel, Aber Menai and Aber. Two chapters are devoted to the construction of the Menai and Britannia Bridges and a final chapter examines the pleasure steamers that made the longer journeys from Liverpool to Llandudno, Beaumaris, Bangor, Menai?Bridge and Caernarfon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wales is a country where small in beautiful, a cultural tradition rooted in the austerity and erudition of the Celtic saints, a tradition more confirmed than repudiated by the Reformation and is best appreciated by lovers of small things. The delights of Wales are understated and cumulative: small country churches rather than great city cathedrals, a labyrinth of byeays away form the few highways, details of vernacular achitecture rather than grand edifices - Edward I's thirteenth-century castles being the exception that proves the rule.
