Administrative / Biographical History

The London and North Western Railway (LNWR, L&NWR) was a British railway company between 1846 and 1922. In the late 19th century, the L&NWR was the largest joint stock company in the United Kingdom. In 1923, it became a constituent of the London, Midland and Scottish (LMS) railway, and, in 1948, the London Midland Region of British Railways: the LNWR is effectively an ancestor of today's West Coast Main Line. The Anglesey Central Railway (Lein Amlwch, Amlwch Line) was a 17.5-mile (28.2 km) standard-gauge railway connecting the port of Amlwch and the county town of Llangefni with the North Wales Coast Line at Gaerwen. The railway branches off westbound from the North Wales Coast Line at Gaerwen, and turns northeast to descend into Malltraeth Marsh (Welsh: Cors Ddyga), passing below Thomas Telford's A5 and the A55 just before Holland Arms station at Pentre Berw. The Red Wharf Bay branch (now removed) left the line here continuing north-west, crossing the River Cefni and approaching Llangefni. North of Llangefni, the railway follows the course of the River Cefni in The Dingle (Nant Y Pandy). The railway continued north-west over easier terrain towards Llangwyllog and Llanerchymedd, where it turned north, running to the west of Llyn Alaw toward Rhosgoch. It then turned north-east around Parys Mountain before reaching Amlwch. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1964 as part of the Beeching Axe.
