This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

This is a view across Trearddur Bay, looking south - the beach is known in Welsh as Tywyn Capel. The house behind the beach is Glan-y-Môr built in 1889 and next to it is the Dune Mound which was the location of St.Ffraid’s chapel. Dune in Welsh is ‘Twyn’ so Twyn Capel is correct and it was in the parish of Holyhead . Howver although the title is correct it would probably be better to put this photograph with Trearddur collection.
I learnt to cycle on this promenade in 1948 and then had many happy hours on my bike exploring Holy Island and the west side of Anglesey. The photo is prior to 1948 as the tall funnelled Trinity House Tender "Beacon" shown top right was replaced by the "Argus" in that year. Thank you for this information - we will change our date to c1946 - Editor
