Photographs of North Wales

High resolution photographs of Bangor in Gwynedd.

Bangor University towering above the city

St Deiniol first founded a Church in Bangor in the 6th century, and until the 11th century not much else is known of the areas history. Bangor - in North Wales - is now known as the city of learning (Dinas Addysg) because of the fine old university there. Students from all over the world have studied within its' walls, and indeed continue to do so. There are for this reason, lots of student accommodations available in the area.

The area of Bangor is separated from the island of Anglesey by the Menai Straits, and therefore both Menai Bridges has half of their foundations on the Bangor side. The prosperity of Bangor and Anglesey is inextricably linked to a lesser or greater degree.

You will notice a lot of changes since these photos were taken in 2005, not least the building of the new Debenhams.
