This is a view across Trearddur Bay, looking south - the beach is known in Welsh as Tywyn Capel.

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.

Thank you for this information - we will change our date to c1946 - Editor
