Penrhos is a village in Anglesey, in north-west Wales.[1] There is a nature reserve on the edge of the village[2] which was owened by Anglesey Aluminium. Since the company's closure in 2009 there have been several planning applications put to the council asking for permission to build on the site.
The 18th-century artist and letter-writer Edward Owen was from Penrhos. John Stanley, 1st Baron Stanley of Alderley and his family had an estate in the village. He was a notable resident in the area and is remembered by having the Stanley Embankment named after him as well as Ysbyty Penrhos Stanley[3] (Holyhead Hospital) and The Stanley Arms, a pub in Holyhead.[4] Amongst other things he constructed a sailor's hospital in the town and Elin's Tower near South Stack.
