Since Gavin was showing Wrecsam to everybody I'm going to show you where I have lived all my life.. Anglesey, which in Welsh is called Ynys Môn.
If you have no idea where Anglesey is here is map for you!
It's the Island coloured in red.
Anglesey is a well preserved island with only one retail outlet on the island. However there is no Cinema or Bowling. For most people on the Island we have to travel to Bangor which is in mainland Wales, to get here we have two famous bridges called Menai bridge and Britannia bridge.
The Menai bridge is one of the world most important bridges ever, why? Well it was the worlds first suspension bridge, designed by Thomas Telford work began on the 130+ ft towers in 1819 and finished in 1826.
Britannia Bridge on the other hand... It was built in 1846 and was finished by 1850. It was a remarkable bridge when it first opened it was the worlds longest wrought iron bridge spanning 1,511-feet whereas before the longest had been 30ft. When opened it was only able to carry train across but that all changed when a fire broke out on the 23rd of May 1970 the result of a bunch of boys dropping a burning torch.
The bridge was totally ruined so they took the tubular Iron sections down and built a new version with two levels, the lower holds the train line and the upper holds the only part on the A55 where it is a single lane carriage way!
Part 2 coming soon!
