Crossing the Menai Strait

The story of the ferries and bridges linking Anglesey and the Welsh mainland. Crossing the Menai Strait, a narrow arm of sea, little wider than a large river, had for centuries carried some special hazards. This present book traces the history of the ferries, a vital link in the communications route, with a wider importance in linking London and Ireland, which were later replaced by two great bridges, and the challenges faced by these in turn.
