Beaumaris
Beaumaris is a community, as well as the previous county town, of Anglesey, Wales, at the eastern entrance to the Menai Strait, the tidal river separating Anglesey from the shore of North Wales. At the 2011 census, its population was 1,938. Beaumaris was the port of registration for all vessels in North West Wales, covering every harbour on Anglesey and all the ports from Conwy to Pwllheli. Shipbuilding was a significant industry in Beaumaris. This was centred on Gallows Point-- a nearby spit of land expanding into the Menai Strait about a mile west of the community. Gallows Point had initially been called "Osmund's Eyre" but was relabelled when the community gallows was erected there-- together with a "Dead House" for the remains of offenders sent off in public implementations. Later, danglings were executed at the town gaol as well as the bodies buried in a lime-pit within the curtilage of the gaol. One of the last prisoners to hang at Beaumaris issued a curse prior to he passed away-- deciding that if he was innocent the 4 faces of the church clock would certainly never show the exact same time.
