South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.
I've made this sashing before, so I should be used to it, but every time, as I get near the end, I'm saying to myself, "I need more? Really?!" It's all made now and I do love the way it looks, which is why I'm sure I'll do it again sometime :)
My show entry for the Wellington Show, gold level, and second in the wedding cake section. Dark red sugar roses on the top.
Performed a small mod on my airbox, I removed the small trumpet which redirects air from the side fender.
Notice the large velocity stack on the top part of the airbox.

South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.

Designed to stack vertically - this kind of illustrates it! The stacking chair forms part of our originals collection - see our website for more details on www.ercol.com The originals are a selection of our favourite pieces we've selected from our back catalogue and reissued. The stacking chair was originally designed in 1957 and was widely used in meeting rooms and schools, before the dawn of the ubiquitous polypropylene chair. Now it forms an ideal chair for when you have extra visitors and when not in use a stack of these chairs makes a dramatic display.

When working with fabric that I'm stacking, the first thing I do is tear the entire piece along the fold line and work with half of the fabric. That's often enough to do a quilt top, leaving the second half of the fabric. Once in a while, I use that second half for borders, but not often because I think stacking changes the look of the fabric so much that it doesn't look good next to the blocks. The quilt top on the left was the first one I made with the fabric shown at the top of the collage, and then the quilt top on the right was the second. I really enjoy getting out that second half of the fabric to see if I can make something that looks different from the first quilt top.
