Beaumaris
Beaumaris is a neighborhood, and the previous county town, of Anglesey, Wales, at the eastern entryway to the Menai Strait, the tidal waterway dividing Anglesey from the coastline 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 major industry in Beaumaris. This was centred on Gallows Point-- a neighboring spit of land extending into the Menai Strait regarding a mile west of the community. Gallows Point had actually originally been called "Osmund's Eyre" but was relabelled when the community gallows was erected there-- in addition to a "Dead House" for the remains of crooks sent off in public implementations. Later on, hangings were performed at the community gaol as well as the bodies hidden in a lime-pit within the curtilage of the gaol. Among the last detainees to hang at Beaumaris issued a curse prior to he died-- announcing that if he was innocent the 4 faces of the church clock would never ever show the very same time.
