What
is Prosiect Menai?
Learning about sealife |
Prosiect Menai is a community project to celebrate our two world famous bridges, the rich marine environment, outstanding natural beauty of the Straits, and the story of the people of this area through the last centuries. |
"The Menai Bridge was the first big suspension bridge in Britain, and a triumph for the great engineer Thomas Telford in 1826, just as the tubular Britannia railway bridge next door was a triumph for Robert Stephenson 24 years later. I am glad to support Project Menai which sounds excellent"
Adam Hart-Davies
BBC science-history presenter whos favourite of all bridges is Telford's Menai bridge.
