Beaumaris
Beaumaris is a community, and the previous county town, of Anglesey, Wales, at the eastern entryway to the Menai Strait, the tidal river dividing Anglesey from the coastline of North Wales. At the 2011 census, its population was 1,938. Beaumaris was the port of enrollment 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 close-by spit of land extending right into the Menai Strait concerning a mile west of the town. Gallows Point had originally been called "Osmund's Eyre" yet was renamed when the town hangings was erected there-- in addition to a "Dead House" for the remains of wrongdoers dispatched in public implementations. Later, hangings were accomplished at the town gaol as well as the bodies hidden in a lime-pit within the curtilage of the gaol. One of the last detainees to hang at Beaumaris released a curse prior to he passed away-- announcing that if he was innocent the 4 faces of the church clock would certainly never ever show the same time.
