Taken while on holiday in the early 1990s. At the time, the railway had not long been out of use. This is the old branch line to Almlwych, opened as the Anglesey Central Railway between 1864 and 1867. Like most independent railways, they had no money, and so operation of the line was taken over by the London & North Western Railway from 1876. The line was closed to passengers by Beeching in 1964, but remained open for freight to the Associated Octel plant at Amlwych until 1993. My best guess as to the date is 1994; I know the trains were no longer running at the time I took this.
