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
