Menai Straits Bridge
The Menai Straits Bridge is a suspension bridge that connects Wales to the island of Anglesey. It was built in 1826 and at the time of completion, it was the biggest suspension bridge in the world! The bridge became instrumental in reducing the journey time from Holyhead to London. The route had gained popularity following the Act of the Union with Ireland, making the route popular with politicans comuting from Ireland to London and vice verse.
