HistoryThe original Anglesey Central Railway was promoted by local residents. The prime mover was William Dew of Llangefni, a successful estate agent. A meeting was held on 5th of July 1858. Sir Richard Bulkeley took the chair and William Dew who was the chief speaker made a strong appeal for the £150,000 needed to launch the venture. |
