Built for Stage Coaches and used by Busses! The clearances are tight for modern traffic.

Hi Bruce,

Great pics - the Menai Bridge is very similar in many ways to the Clifton Suspension Bridge which spans the river Avon.

Here is one of us sailing under it on mv Balmoral in 2016 - it was undergoing renovation at the time as can be seen by the scaffolding around the tower on the Bristol side.

Keep the adventures comin'

Menai is of course somewhat older, opening in 1826 as compared to 1864 for Clifton. Both are great bridges.

What a beautiful little church! I wonder whether it gets a decent congregation or whether it is only in occasional use...

Saw this today for sale in Beaumaris so had to acquire it.

Great photos of the church !  And what a marvelous QE2 find !  I wonder, too, if the church is used.  Many thanks, Bruce !  And I am looking forward to the next installment.

What a great find! I am sure you will not be eating your bread and butter off this plate .

I wonder what its history is... we have not come across this plate before.

Just checking in to see how things are ?  Well, I hope.  Any news ?
