'Menai Bridge (from the Anglesea Side)', 1830. Thomas Telford's suspension bridge over the Menai Straits was built in 1820-1826. It was built to carry the London/Holyhead road used for transporting mails between Dublin and London. The bridge's original timber deck was wrecked in a storm in 1839. In 1940 the chains were renewed with high tensile steel.
