Some Bangor Cottages

Bangor today is a modern city with its university but its history can be traced back to 525AD when a Celtic missionary first established a monastic community on the present site of the cathedral. It continued life as a small hamlet with little expansion however there were two factors which were to dramatically change Bangor in the 1700â€™s â€“ road communication and the development of the nearby slate quarries. Communication from London to Ireland went through Chester and Conwy around Penmaenmawr and across the Menai Straits and on to Holyhead but this part of the trip, across the Menai Straits were the most dangerous and because of this danger that route was abandoned in favour of Bangor and the Portaethwy Ferry and now Bangor found itself on the main route between London and Holyhead.
