More about this scene

The block at the corner is one of the latest boarding houses, and has clearly pushed back some older buildings. No doubt the kiosk sold tickets for the boats at the end of the pier, but for a generation which knew nothing of cars it also led to a railway system opening up the delights of County Down. It was a very attractive feature for the growing number of cross-water visitors.

A Selection of Memories from Bangor

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Bangor

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

This shows St. Comgall's before the addition of the spire; the church dominates the intersection of Hamilton Road and Castle Street, sitting in a roughly triangular plot encompassed by the aforesaid and Ruby Street. Long gone is the horse trough which stood at the apex of the triangle; was it saved?
As in the title this mooring place beside Seacliff Road is known as the Long Hole, two separate words. Many thanks for this correction - the archive has been updated, Regards, Editor.
The name of this church is incorrect; although known as Bangor Abbey it is a Protestant church which stands on the site of the Catholic abbey long since gone . The view is from Church Street, looking across the Newtownards Road. Thank you for letting us know - the archive has been updated with the correction. Regards, Editor.
Has anyone any memories or being told of a Family called Hall which lived in Bangor about 1936-38. Their names were Albert and Annie and the children, Lesley , Gordon , Sylvia, and Nancy. I believe Albert was a locomotive driver. The information is for a book so anything no matter how small will help. Best wishes John m Taylor
