More about this scene

One of Anglesey's best-known sailing resorts, at the eastern end of the Menai Strait, Beaumaris was founded by Edward I, who built one of his great castles here, although it was never finished. In this view, two old salts and a boy look out across the pier and the Menai Strait to the mountains of Snowdonia. Beaumaris was popular with tourists: it offered fine bathing grounds, pleasant walks and a ferry to Bangor.

David Mills lived at #3, I lived at #11. Mansell Grifthiths, Dianna Lucas, Jean Jackson, Mary Quin all lived on the same street. I ended up in Vancouver. What happened to everyone?
