		Llanfair then attacked down the right but a twenty yard shot was well wide.
		Llanfair then created chances first from a free kick that Mike Price smothered and then Robbie Jones had to be alert to clear off the line with Price beaten.
		Gresford were well on top at the stage and should have sealed a well earned victory before Llanfair drew level when a freekick was punched out by Mike Price and fell to the feet of Ian Burgess who fired a low shot into the corner.

		Originally called Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll, which means 'The Mary church by the pool near the white hazels' the village was renamed in the 19th Century.

		Until the 19th century the village on the island of Anglesey was known as Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll (St Mary's church near the pool by the white hazels).
		But with the advent of the railways and the development of a line between Chester and Holyhead, a local committee was formed to devise ways of attracting trains and tourists to the area.
		Unfortunately, it is not clear who actually came up with the new name, but it is thought to be the invention of a cobbler from nearby Menai Bridge.

	A Collection of Word Oddities and Trivia
		However, what Llanfair PG does have over other long place-names is that there is a town, in which several shops and the railway station proudly display the complete long version of the name.
		This would be 'ogof goch', but F seems a weak sound in Welsh and it is swallowed by the following G. The preceding 'Church of St Tysilio' is 'llan tysilio', and because the following phrase begins with the O of 'ogo(f)', a G is inserted to aid pronunciation.
		Any cyclists out there may be interested to know that Llanfair PG is on the Welsh National Cycle Route, Sustrans's long-distance cycle route from Cardiff in the south to Holyhead in the north.

		- better (and easier) known as Llanfair PG - not only has a record breaking name but was the first Holyhead line station to be built on Anglesey during the great Victorian railway building era and dates back to 1848.
		The major project was the massive £3 million refurbishment of the Grade 2 listed Holyhead Station, which serves the ferries to Ireland, and included a complete overhaul of its enormous 230 metre long roof as well as improvements to platform lighting, the train shed and the PA system.
		Anthony Brooks (UK) Litchard Ltd of Bolton carried out the extensive repainting programme at the busy Holyhead terminal and the Northern Scaffolding Group (NSG) refurbished a number of stations along the picturesque coastal line including Deganwy, Penmaenmawr, Llanfairfechan and Llanfair PG to restore them to their former glory.

		A thousand-strong crowd gathered to welcome The Queen as she walked past the station sign on which the full name of the village is spelt out.
		The 58-letter name means 'The Church of St Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio near a red cave', although it is usually shortened to Llanfairpwll or Llanfair P.G..
		The extended name is almost certainly the work of a local tailor who wanted to put the village on the map in the mid 1800's.

		It is a nice town and considering you're on an island and basically there's nothing else around except some ancient standing stones and even smaller towns, it's probably worth your while to visit Llanfair P.G. as long as you're visiting the isle of Anglesey.
		You see, these are the great experiences one can have by being in such places, acting not at all cocky but being obviously foreign to the 'locals'.

		The marquises of Anglesey still live at Plas Newydd (April-Oct Mon-Wed, Sat and Sun: house noon-5pm, garden 11am-5.30pm; house and garden £4.50, garden only £2.50; NT), a mile and a half south of Llanfair PG, a modest three-storey mansion with incongruous Tudor caps on slender octagonal turrets.
		Inside, architect James Wyatt was given free stylistic rein, producing a Gothic music room followed by a Neoclassical staircase hall with a cantilevered staircase and deceptively solid-looking Doric columns - actually just painted wood.
