Snowdon Range from Four Mile Bridge between Holy Island & Anglesey, Sept 15th by Beatrice Cummings
Description
Her painting below was done on her first visit in 1889. It is from Four-Mile Bridge looking southwards over the Inland Sea (Cymyran Strait) separating Anglesey from Holy Island. The raised landform on the right would seem to be the easternmost part of the Rhoscolyn area. The Snowdonia Mountains are in the distance. The bridge dates back at least to the 1500’s and, until the Stanley Embankment was built in 1823 as part of Thomas Telford’s London to Holyhead roadway, it was the only formal crossing of the channel.
