Digital copy of black and white photograph showing Fagwyr Uchaf, Anglesey in c. 1946. Donated to the archive by William Baquiast whose grandparent’s home it was. He writes: ‘the tower was eventually pulled down because it was leaning dangerously on the house. According to family gossip, this was due to the fact that it's lower section only had three walls and was built with sand taken from the beach. So full of sea salt and no good for building work’. (Ref: DD2022_026). See more in our site record here: https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/15687

Digital colour photograph showing Llys-y-fran inscribed stone, taken in 2022.
