Amlwch
Amlwch
is a
town
on the north coast of
Anglesey
in
Wales
. It grew in the
eighteenth century
around what was then the world's biggest
copper
mine at the nearby
Parys Mountain
. By the late eighteenth century, Amlwch has a population of around 10,000 people and was the second largest town in Wales after
Merthyr Tydfil
. When competition arose overseas, the population shrank. One copper mine remains, but the town's main industry today is
fishing
. Attractions in Amlwch include its restored
port
, its
watch house
containing a small
museum
, and the
reinforced concrete
church
Our Lady of the Sea
.
