Historical reference: Do not rely on this information. It is very old. About this collection
Beaumaris, the chief town and municipal borough of the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales, situated three miles from Bangor, on a fine bay at the entrance of the Menai Straits. There is an old castle built by Edward I., and a handsome church. Until 1885 it sent a member to Parliament, but the representation is now merged in a division of the county. Little trade is carried on, and the influx of visitors during the bathing season is the principal source of prosperity.
