Before the construction of the Suspension and Tubular Bridges this was the only way people, an animals and goods could cross the Strait. Sl Slate was carried across in the 17th Century. The Strait is some 15 miles long in total, with very strong currents and sand banks in places. Numerous ferries were in operation, and included some very hazardous crossings. Many lives were lost. Dr. Owen’s talk was accompanied by slides showing the various ferries in operation. He was warmly thanked for a very enjoyable talk. Next meeting will be held at the WI Hall at 7.30pm on Thursday, Nov2 and will be the AGM.
