Beaumaris
Beaumaris is a community, and 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 enrollment for all vessels in North West Wales, covering every harbour on Anglesey and all the ports from Conwy to Pwllheli. Shipbuilding was a major market in Beaumaris. This was centred on Gallows Point-- a neighboring spit of land expanding right into the Menai Strait concerning a mile west of the town. Gallows Point had originally been called "Osmund's Eyre" yet was relabelled when the community hangings was erected there-- in addition to a "Dead House" for the remains of crooks sent off in public implementations. Later on, hangings were carried out at the town gaol and the bodies buried in a lime-pit within the curtilage of the gaol. Among the last detainees to hang at Beaumaris issued a curse prior to he passed away-- announcing that if he was innocent the 4 faces of the church clock would never ever show the very same time.
