Buckley, Flintshire
Buckley ( cy, Bwcle ) is a town and community in Flintshire, north-east Wales, from the county town of Mold and contiguous with the villages of Ewloe, Alltami and Mynydd Isa.

Etymology Buckley's name appears as ''Bocleghe'' in 1198 and ''Bokkeley'' in 1294. It may mean "clearing of the bucks", from Old English ''bucc lēah''; however, the preponderance of an O vowel in historical forms suggests that the first element could instead be a personal name, ''Bocca''. Another contender is ''bōca'', meaning "beeches", but the fact that beech trees weren't introduced into North Wales until the 18th century argues against th ...

A494 Road

The route, which is officially known as the Dolgellau to South of Birkenhead Trunk Road, runs between the terminus of the M56 motorway between Mollington and Capenhurst and the A470 at Dolgellau, Gwynedd. Its northern sections remain among the busiest roads in Wales. History The original routes into North Wales meant using fords when the Dee estuary was at low tide north west of Chester. But when the river was canalised in the 1730s several new coach roads were laid out through Sealand, Shotton and Queensferry. These were built by the Dee Company under the River Dee Act of 1743 to serve the hand-operated ferries which had replaced the fords. By 1861 the ferry at Shotton was steam operated, with an engine house on the Queensferry side. In 1897 the ferry was replaced by an innovative retractable bridge because of increasing mechanised transport. The Queen Victoria Jubilee Toll Bridge, which was built from iron, stone and wood, ...
