Menai Heritage Experience

A community project to celebrate the two bridges, wildlife and area.

• Thomas Telford's Menai Suspension Bridge

• Robert Stephenson's Britannia Bridge

• The rich marine environment and the outstanding natural beauty of the Menai Straits

• The story of the people of this area through the last centuries.

They have two projects:-

• The Canolfan Thomas Telford which houses the Bridges Exhibition, an active community centre and an Education centre.

• Restoration of a historic warehouse called the Princes Pier, which is on the waterfront in Menai Bridge - the building will house the Exhibition in a more permanent home.

The Canolfan Thomas Telford Community & Education Centre, at present is also housing the Menai Heritage Experience (Bridges Exhibition).
