The dramatic coastal landscapes of the island are documented in this excellent 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 coastal fringe has been the scene of prehistoric fishing and oyster catching, Neolithic tombs and Bronze Age round barrows, Roman-influenced villas, Irish incursions, a Norman motte and bailey at Aberlleiniog (and now with public access), the last of the great Edwardian castles (at Beaumaris), the nineteenth century development of Holyhead into one of Britain’s major ports, and the growth of sustainable energy in the form of wind turbines in recent years.

Includes an introduction and index.
Large-format hardback, 144 pages, with 148 colour and black & white illustrations.

Frances Lynch is also the author of Prehistoric Anglesey: the archaeology of the island to the Roman conquest
