Anglesey
- Page 2.
This old map shows the railways of Anglesey. The line to Red Wharf Bay
was discontinued in the thirties, but the line to Amlwch was in use for
freight up until more recent times to take freight to and from the
chemical works at Amlwch .The plant manufactured bromine from a process
involving sea water.
Whilst the Red Wharf Bay line was sold off piecemeal, the Amlwch branch
is still owned by Network Rail and the rails are intact. A local group
(Lein Amlwch) is working towards its restoration. Contact me for
further details.
