More about this scene
We are looking from Anglesey to the mainland along the 579ft-long suspension bridge. The bridge was the first structure of its kind in the world, and is pictured here when it was 64 years old. The bridge is best viewed from Belgian Promenade which overlooks the water. This is a view from Anglesey across the strait. Rip tides up and down the strait made the ferry a dangerous option, and earned the Menai the nickname 'the British Bosphorus'.
