The disused line to Amlwch lies below. Anglesey Central Railway was a 17.5 miles (28.2 km) long standard-gauge railway in Anglesey, Wales, connecting the port of Amlwch and the county town of Llangefni with the North Wales Coast Line at Gaerwen. The railway's tracks have been left in situ, and local groups have demonstrated an interest in restoring services, possibly as a heritage railway.Across the road see Image]

The 17.5 mile Anglesey Central Railway between Gaerwen and Amlwch opened in 1866. It closed to passengers in 1964 and to freight in 1993. Most of the track remains in situ and there are plans to eventually re-open the line as a heritage railway.

This inn is also called Rhos-goch Hotel. "Ring" may be a corruption of "Yr Inn", though other suggest that there might have been a cock fighting ring on the site. Until the 1930s The Ring and the cafe across the road played an important part in the pig trade, with thousands of pigs being railed out through Rhosgoch Station. In the early years of the 20thC the inn was kept by William Innes, a Scots pig dealer who spoke pidgin Welsh with a Glasgow accent. Pigs were corralled in the inn's yard where Innes provided a weighing service for pigs. He had a reputation for being straight and honest. Image

It's changed a bit, externally, since my last visit. Image] We fancied a coffee on a chilly foggy afternoon but it was closed.

Village pub with some cask ales on tap and food as well.
