Moelfre Lifeboat Station

Moelfre Lifeboat Station is located in the village of Moelfre, Anglesey and is run by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The present boathouse became operational in March 2015.^[1]

The original boathouse was built in 1875 and was replaced in 1909. This was modified several times between 1930 and 1993 to accommodate larger boats; its slipway had been commensurately lengthened as well. This station was stone-built with rendered walls and a slate roof, on a rectangular base of coursed, squared limestone.^[2]
