Ynys Gored Goch
Ynys Gored Goch (trans. (英語:Red Weir Island) also known as ''Whitebait Island'') is a small island in the Menai Strait between Gwynedd and Anglesey in North Wales.〔(Ordnance Survey map of the island )〕 It is situated in the stretch of the strait called the Swellies between Thomas Telford's Menai Suspension Bridge and Robert Stephenson's Britannia Bridge.
The island is occupied by the main house and the converted smoke house where the fish were processed. Access is only by boat.
==History==
The earliest known document relating to the island dates from 1590 when it is listed as belonging to the Diocese of Bangor which leased it for £3 and a barrel of herrings a year 〔Hughes, Margaret: ''Anglesey from the Sea'', page 14. Carreg Gwalch, 2001〕 as the island was used as a fishing trap. During high tides fish would swim into the traps set near the island. The catch would then be collected at the subsequent low tide. After 1888 when the house was sold into private hands the whitebait (herring), people would often travel to the island to taste the fish.〔Hughes, Margaret: ''Anglesey from the Sea'', page 15. Carreg Gwalch, 2001〕
