I added the population (which was surprisingly difficult to find...). It's an estimate from a page that comes either in 2003 or later. As there's no specific date mentioned, I used the following sentence "[a member of the polic department] became the official Beaumaris CBM in November 2003." At the bottom of the page it mentions the population. Seqsea (talk) 05:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As I read that police page, it's talking about the population of the Beaumaris beat/Ward, which is larger than Beaumaris itself. You get the same information if you look at the page for Cwm Cadnant WardorLlangoed Ward. Any other possible sources to confirm? Bencherlite08:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent! I'll bookmark these pages for future general reference as well. I've revised the population figure and said "<" as the figures are for Beaumaris ward, which is larger than Beaumaris - it includes Llanfaes, for example, not that that will distort the figures much (it's more of a problem at Penmon (place) where the figures I added are for Llangoed ward as a whole, with a disclaimer to that effect). Any thoughts on either page? Thanks, Bencherlite11:55, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It can be difficult to get population figures for villages because a lot of statistics are done by electoral areas. Can't remember how the page got in my watchlist now! There is a good chapter about the old Saunders Roe factory in the book below - I think it is somewhere in there where is an intriguing picture of a "radar bus" being unloaded from a landing craft on its way to Holyhead. No one knows what it would have been used for. Presumably Beaumaris was used because the bus would be too high go over the bridge. You might like to add a not on the Penmon page about the BBC Medium Wave transmitter at Penmon, there is a bit about it here. It originally opened in February 1937 but the original building has been replaced by a small modern one (was the original building converted to house?). --jmb12:59, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard that Beaumaris was a viking town and certainly do not remember any reference to this in Mark Rednaps book "Vikings in Wales" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.59.47.132 (talk) 13:42, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A rather clumsy description ... it implies that all members of the Luftwaffe were also members of the nazi party which was certainly not true ... surely something like "during WWII" would suffice —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.59.47.132 (talk) 13:58, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Aside from the fact that the former large settlement was Llanmaes (Gwynedd), the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust says the specific site of Beaumaris was at a place called "Cerrig y Gwyddyl" ("Irishstone"), not "Porth y Wygyr" ("Vikingport"). Do we have a source for (the admittedly cooler) "Vikingport"? or were they different names for the same place? adjacent towns that were both swallowed? or should we just change the article? — LlywelynII21:29, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Side point: the article also includes some details about Llanmaes (I'm doing an article for it now) and covers some of the means used by Edward to coax its residents into moving to Beaumaris. — LlywelynII21:31, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
