Central Avenue, Bangor

Central Avenue in Bangor during the cold spell in December 2010. Around 2-3 inches fell on the town centre on the night of 16th/17th December 2010; this persisted on the ground and was topped up by a further 3-4 inches a few days later. The cold spell saw persistent sub-zero temperatures in the town and at one point the marina had partially frozen over - see Image A thaw did not set in until the 27th December. Central Avenue is a straight road leading from Main Street to Dufferin Avenue, although it dips dramatically between the two as it crosses Southwell Road. The street features on maps from 1833, although buildings were only developed after 1860. It was known as either Middle Road or Diocesan Road in the mid 19th Century. See also Image
