    12) Bangor and district That area of the City of Bangor representing its former industrial importance, the slate quays of Port Penrhyn, has already been described (section 10). There remains to catalogue a variety of miscellaneous industrial relics in what is nowadays primarily a university town and a local government and commercial centre of the County of Gwynedd. The University College of North Wales was first established in 1889 in the Penrhyn Arms Hotel previously mentioned, where the present main A5 road cuts through a rock outcrop of Bangor Mountain to join up with Beach Road. Nowadays it occupies much property, old and new, throughout the area. The formerly isolated Victorian suburb of Hirael emphasizes the marine connections of the city. There is a sailors institute (“Admission Free”), long derelict but now restored and in the ownership of the adjoining “Nelson Alehouse”. A flourishing boatyard was first established in 1926 to cater for the needs of the local fishing fleet. Increasingly, trade has shifted to the domestic and pleasure markets, but occasional work has been undertaken on the construction of Admiralty cutters and pilot boats up to fifty feet in length. The National Tyre Service Depot (Hacker’s) in Beach Road was the “Menai Foundry” of John Owen and Co. until the 1950's, and the area’s last sail loft which was next door was regrettably demolished as late as 1973 to make way for the new filling station. The distinctive and enlightened Corporation housing at Maes Isalaw, overlooking the bay and fronted by neat gardens, replaced extensive slum housing in 1933…… Going up the High Street, Messrs.

  • Bangor Cathedral's Website
    Bangor Cathedral’s Website: http://bangor.churchinwales.org.uk/cathedral/ Bangor Cathedral; 15th July – 22th July 2015. Capacity: 9 campers. Bangor Cathedral, situated on the south side of the Menia Straits which separates the isle of Anglesey from the mainland of north Wales, was founded in 525AD and has been a Cathedral since 546AD, making it the oldest Cathedral in the United Kingdom in continuous use. It is one of the earliest monastic settlements in all of the UK. Bangor Cathedral hosted its first CSV Heritage Camp in 2012, and this is now a firm favourite in their summer programme. • The local area Overlooked by the 324 foot Bangor Mountain, Bangor is one of the smallest cities in the United Kingdom. It is situated in a region of outstanding natural beauty where the Snowdonia Mountains reach the sea. Bangor is fortunate to have its own Victorian Pier, which opened in 1896. The beautiful Victorian pier is the second longest in Wales at 1,500 feet and offers a stunning view across the Menai Straits to the picturesque island of Anglesey. Bangor is a thriving university city with a student population of 14,000, which makes for a lively atmosphere with good bookshops, reasonably priced restaurants and a theatre. Another claim to fame is that Bangor has the longest High Street in Wales. It is the region's main cultural and shopping centre, and the city centre has two modern shopping centres, plus a mix of national chain stores and smaller shops. • What is involved on the Bangor Cathedral Camp? Volunteers will be involved in a variety of jobs including cleaning, painting, decoration, polishing and making an inventory of Cathedral Vestments and silver.

  • May 2013: Pilgrimage Blog, Chris Potter
    May 2013: Pilgrimage blog, Chris Potter. BASINGWERK TO LLANASA Light rain overnight and the wind has dropped. My legs feeling reluctant to get started, a familiar feeling after first day of pilgrimage. Remember a Frenchman telling us on our first day on the Camino just outside Le Puy - "The first day is difficult, and the next is nothing like as easy!" Yesterday 25 of us gathered at Basingwerk Abbey for our short starting out liturgy, reminding ourselves of the Saints who first set out across Wales some 1500 years ago. The mural made by excluded school children under the guidance of ceramic sculptor Neil Dalrymple looks magnificent, with lots of quirky characters popping up Breughel-like as the children threaded their own narrative journey along the pilgrimage route from Basingwerk to Bardsey. We made our way up Greenfield Valley, past the industrial heritage sites and through scruffy sheds and garages to emerge on the road near Winifride's well, primroses and speedwell mixed in with the daffodils on the bank across the road. Cutting up through the Holway, over the main road and up towards Pantasaph, stopping from time to time to climb stiles and look back across to the Wirral and the solid brown tower of Liverpool Cathedral. Sunlight picking out the sandy edge of Lancashire disappearing into the mist further north. A chilly and speedy lunch at Pantasaph, the wind quite sharp and biting, but pilgrims content sitting on benches in the lee of the churchyard wall. Shortly after we set off again we were joined by Padraig Ward who will be meeting us again at Aberdaron to receive the pilgrim staff as he returns with it to St Asaph Cathedral, promoting the Hungry for Change Campaign on the way in advance of the G8 summit in June.

  • Review of Special Landscape Areas in Gwynedd and Anglesey: Executive Summary
    Review of Special Landscape Areas in Gwynedd and Anglesey: Executive Summary In 2012 Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Planning Policy Unit (JPPU) commissioned independent consultants, LUC, to undertake a thorough review of local landscape designations (Special Landscape Areas) in the two counties. Special Landscape Areas (SLAs) are defined by the Countryside Council for Wales as ‘areas of high landscape importance for their intrinsic physical, environmental, visual, cultural and historical value in the contemporary landscape’ (2008). This review followed a four-stage approach combining both a desk study review of evidence (including LANDMAP) and field survey work. The four stages in the review were as follows: Stage 1: Defining Strategic Criteria – establishing whether there is a valid, defensible and clearly justified need for SLA designations in Gwynedd and Anglesey. The study defined a set of six criteria against which each potential SLA was judged, ensuring that in every case a consistent process was followed in considering the need for local designation. Stage 2: Establishing Broad Search Areas – including querying and combining the evaluation scores from across the five LANDMAP Evaluated Aspects. The existing location of Landscape Conservation Areas (LConAs) in Gwynedd provided a key starting point for this stage, but the current LANDMAP data (and other mapped evidence) was also used to help refine and, where necessary, propose new SLAs. Stage 3: Establishing Specific Special Landscape Areas – individual SLAs were further refined by more detailed desk-based work and field survey. For each SLA identified, a clear statement of need was drafted and any links/amendments to the current designations (Gwynedd’s LConAs) documented.

  • Buses Around Bangor
    Buses around Bangor Major updates 2013 Much new information has become available, primarily on Internet, since our last review some six years ago, enabling clarification and considerable expansion of our original document. More photographs are added, mainly courtesy of Alan Murray-Rust, whose visit to the area in October 1969 was blessed with bright, sunny weather. His images are denoted (AM-R) in our text below and further illustrate the many different vehicle types and colourful liveries to be seen then. Now that over 600 vehicles are listed, the fleet details have been taken out into a separate spreadsheet accompanying this article, enabling easy sorting or filtering. All known operators in Caernarfonshire and Anglesey are covered, from around 1950 to 1970 and sometimes a little beyond. Note that minibuses (fewer than 15 seats) are not generally included, nor are vehicles purchased new after 1964 (the latter tend to be well recorded already, e.g. on the Internet). For a few years after 1971, very few new vehicles were purchased by operators in the area, and used-vehicle trades were somewhat reduced, due to the prevailing economic situation. The disposal dates are often approximate only; they may range from the last date on which a vehicle was known to be licensed, to the date when it was sold. In some cases, old vehicles were just left out in the depot yard or elsewhere to rot away over many years! Recommended Reading There has been very little material published to date on the bus and coach companies of north-west Wales. One exception is the detailed history of Whiteway, Waunfawr, by former employee Bill Rear published by Gwynedd Archives Service in 2001 (ISBN 0901 3378 11).
