Altre informazioni:
Cemaes Harbour and village on the north coast of Anglesey. Historically Cemaes used to be the main port of the Anglesey north coast, busy with fishing, shipbuilding, trade and smuggling from the Isle of Man. Ships from here traded in coal, limestone, marble, corn, lime, ochre, and salted herrings, but Amlwch gradually took over because of its deeper and more sheltered harbour. The stone breakwater pier protecting the harbour was damaged in a storm during 1828 and a new one designed by local man Ishmael Jones, but rebuilt again in1889 after more storm damage, and improved in 1900. Today the towns main source of employment is the nearby Wylfa nuclear power station and the holiday trade. The power station is currently being decommissioned.
