THE ISLAND STRAIT, ITV, 8pm
THINK of the Menai Straits and what immediately springs to mind is probably the bridge that links Anglesey to mainland Wales, which was designed by Thomas Telford, completed in 1826 and is now a Grade I listed building.
It was originally built to help landowners take their valuable cattle to market in London, but these days it’s more likely to transport tourists to the island for their holidays – as the latest edition of this series illustrates perfectly.
As the visitors arrive, local businesspeople thrive – suddenly their tills are constantly ringing thanks to the temporary residents.
Some of the sights they come to see may include landscape photographer Glyn’s exhibition and Menai, the Olive Ridley turtle who washed up outside Frankie’s Sea Zoo and is now thriving in her new home.
