Description
Old Bangor: A Glimpse into Northern Ireland's Favourite Holiday Destination Bangor, Co. Down, was always a popular holiday destination in Northern Ireland, and this book brings to life its heyday as a resort from 1900 to the Second World War. The years are recalled through fifty-three photographs from those times, showcasing shops, streets, and buildings from years gone by. The images depict various scenes, including battleships flying off the coast, charabanc tours at the Esplanade, Market Day, children playing at Children's Corner, and the packed beach at Ballyholme Bay. Other scenes feature the Belfast steamers arriving at the piers, a visit by King Edward VII, and Henry Wingfield playing the organ at the Tonic Cinema. This book is a nostalgic look back at Bangor's resort days, offering a glimpse into the town's history through its photographs.
