Mostyn is a small village in Wales with a population of around 2000 people. Historically, the port at Mostyn is where Henry IV landed when he attacked Richard II in 1399. In the 19th century, it became a coal mining town, but in the 1960's the enterprise was stopped as they had exhausted the resource. The most well-known part of the village today is its privately-owned port, out of which wings for the Airbus A380 are shipped on the ship Ville de Bardeaux. Peter Finch mentions this in "Real Wales," saying "The jetty at Mostyn from where the Airbus wings set sail."
