Historical Description

Amlwch, situated on the sea coast, and a place where much business is done. This was originally a small hamlet occupied by fishermen: from its connexion with the Paris Mine, it became a town of considerable population. It has a port consisting of a large chasm between two lofty rocks, which will only permit two small vessels to ride in abreast, but furnishes length and breadth sufficient to accommodate thirty sloops and brigs. The Paris Mountain copper mines, are one mile distant: the principal inhabitants are miners, or families who have concerns in that work. The church is a neat modern structure, dedicated to Elaeth, a saint of the British calendar.

Not far from hence is the port, to which the ore is brought from Paris mines, and transported to Liverpool or Swansea: it is a place extremely well adapted to the convenience and business of exportation. This port is chiefly artificial, being a chasm cut out between two rocks with great labour and expence, which runs far into the land, but rendered sufficiently large to receive 30 vessels of 200 tons burthen each. It is yet, notwithstanding every expence, greatly exposed, and dangerous of access during high northerly winds, which drive a heavy sea up the rock of this harbour.

The two companies, or proprietors of the copper-mines, employ generally fifteen brigs, from 100 to 150 tons burthen, besides sloops, in exporting the produce of these mines, being principally as follows:

I. Coarse copper from the smelting houses. 2. A richer copper ore. 3. Dried precipitate of copper, from the vitriol pits. 4. Refined sulphur. 5. Ochre. 6. Alum. 7. Green vitriol.

The town of Amlwch, which thirty-five years ago had only about half a dozen houses in the whole parish, now consists of 926; inhabited by 4210 persons: its market, which is considerable, is generally thronged with miners, and the country people.

Topography of Great Britain (1829) by George Alexander Cooke

AMLWCH is a market town, seaport and parish in the hundred of Twrcelyn, Isle of Anglesey, and the terminal station of the Amlwch and Gaerwen branch of the London and North-Western railway, 262 miles north-west from London, 20 north-west from Bangor, and 20 north by east from Holyhead, situated near the northern extremity of the island, and commanding, in clear weather, a view of the Isle of Man and a part of Cumberland, in the second division of the county, head of a petty-sessional division, county-court district of Llangefni, rural deanery of Twrcelyn, archdeaconry of Bangor and Anglesey, and diocese of Bangor. The church is dedicated to St. Eleth. The registers date from the year 1633. The living is a vicarage, with a net yearly value of £286 and residence, in the gift of the Bishop of Bangor, and held since 1888 by the Rev. David Lloyd-Jones of Queen’s College, Birmingham. There are chapels for Baptists, Independents, Calvinists, and Welsh and English Wesleyan Methodists.

Previous to the mining operations, which commenced on the Parys Mountain, about the year 1768, this place was only a small fishing village, but since the period referred to, has continued to increase in population and buildings, until it has arrived at the rank of a market town; having many good dwellings, shops and inns-of the latter, the Dinorben Hotel, in the Market place, may be mentioned as an excellently conducted establishment.

During the most flourishing state of the mines, it has been ascertained that from sixty thousand to eighty thousand tons of copper ore were annually extracted, but at present they are not worked. H. Hills & Sons’ alkali works are carried on near the port. For the accommodation of shipping, the Anglesey Copper Companies excavated a basin or dock in the solid rock, which, though dry at low water, can receive vessels of six hundred tons burden with the flood; it is, however, greatly exposed and dangerous of access during high northerly winds, which drive a heavy sea up the creek of the harbour; a breakwater, however, contributes greatly to the safety of the shipping.

About the year 1798, an Act of Parliament was obtained to enable the trustees to enlarge the port and levy harbour dues. The chief branches of trade are the manufacture of ochres and colours and brewing. There are also three establishments for the manufacture of tobacco.

National and British schools, and a Literary and Scientific Institution are established here. The market is held on Saturday. Fairs are held on the 1st Monday in January, 1st Monday in April, 1st in October, and last Monday in December.

The area comprises 9,271 acres, of which 82 are water; the population in 1891 was 4,443.
