Holyhead
Holyhead is the largest town in the county of Isle of Anglesey in Wales. Holyhead is found on Holy Island, which had a population of 13,659 at the 2011 census. The town centre is built around St. Cybi's Church, which is built inside one of Europe's few three-walled Roman forts (the fourth border being the sea, which used to come up towards the fort). The Port of Holyhead has a very busy ferry port. Stena Line, Northern Europe's primary ferry firm, operates from the port, as do Irish Ferries. Holyhead Port is a major employer, most of the jobs being connected to the ferry services to the Republic of Ireland operated by Stena and Irish Ferries. Other major industrial/transport sector companies in Holyhead include Holyhead Boatyard, Gwynedd Shipping, and Eaton Electrical. New retail developments in recent years have been a large source of new job creation. Holyhead's arts centre, the Ucheldre Centre, is situated in the chapel of an old convent belonging to the order of the Bon Sauveur. It holds routine arts exhibitions, performances, workshops and film screenings. The Holyhead Maritime Museum is housed in what is said to be Wales's oldest lifeboat house. According to the Census of 2001, 47% of the residents in the town can speak Welsh. The greatest percentage of speakers is the 15-year-old age group, of whom 66% can speak the language. According to the 2011 Census, of those in the area who were born in Wales, only 52.2% of the population can speak Welsh. Holyhead is home to one of the original churches of the Jedi Religion, started by brothers Daniel and Barney Jones early in 2008. Holyhead High School (previously County Secondary school) was the very first comprehensive school in the UK.
