Spoiler - it's Llansteffan. Probably about 60 years since I was there though we used to go for the day now & again. It's only 23 miles from where I grew up (though in a different world) and probably took about an hour to get there in ye olden days

A pic of the building of the Tyne Bridge I haven't seen before!

Brings home how small Newcastle was in the 18th century, & Gateshead was just a village

Does seem like we've been doing that since forever though.....
