Amlwch

Amlwch (pron. Am'look), a small seaport of Anglesey, North Wales, on the north coast of the island, 21½ miles NNW. of the Menai Bridge by rail (1867). It is a busy but rather dirty town, deriving its importance almost entirely from the neighbouring rich copper mines of the Parys Mountain. Till 1885 Amlwch united with Beaumaris, &c. in returning one member to parliament. Pop. of parish (1891) 4443.
