The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboat house and slipway were constructed on their current site in 1909, replacing a
lifeboat house built 200m to the south in 1875. Moelfre had become well known as a place of maritime tragedy following the loss of the `Royal Charter? in 1859.
The building was constructed on a limestone plinth of squared blocks, dating from the earliest phase of building in 1909. The lifeboat house was altered a number of times, most notably in 1930 and 1992 in order to accommodate larger vessels. The slipway has also been lengthened on a number of occasions. A significant amount of fabric from the 1909 and 1930 buildings remains. Source: Gwynedd Archaeological Trust Report No. 844 [see GAT10/04/02]
