Not the old Hotpoint factory, I'm afraid. It's actually on Anglesey.

It's not Wylfa, although it's not that far away from the Wylfa site.  $good$

Is it the Kanatxx  Lng  Limited Amlwch site? 

The old railway lines are just out of sight on the photo. 

Canatxx is a new company which is planning to build a LNG gasification plant on the site of the old Octel works.

Hugo is correct! It was originally the Associated Octel plant at Amlwch, later Great Lakes Chemicals, then latterly owned by Canatxx. It was built to extract Bromine from seawater. When I visited though, the Canatxx sign had been removed and the whole place looked almost abandoned.

Correct! A great place for a meal, especially if you can sit outside on the decking overhanging the river:
