Hairdresser, Church Street, Bangor
Apart from the uPVC window, I doubt if this little hairdresser has changed much in decades. It is still open for business.

Old gravestone, Bangor Abbey graveyard
This was the oldest gravestone I could find. As it's partially broken I can't make out the entire inscription but it seems to read
"Here lyeth......Janet McH......Shaw who died 16th March 1707 aged 40 years
also body of Shaw Scot daughter to Alex Scot who died 27th Oct 1745 aged 5 months"

Bangor Abbey and graveyard
Bangor Abbey was established by Saint Comgall in 558. Little remains of the original abbey after repeated attacks by the Danes, who destroyed it in 824. It was restored by Saint Malachy in the 12th century, although the only structure remaining from this period is thought to be a nearby wall seen in Image The oldest parts of the existing Abbey are thought to date from the 14th Century.
The graveyard contains a number of interesting graves and gravestones. I have photographed a few 18th Century examples here:
