IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Ava Street, BANGOR, BT20 3JX

Signs like this appear all over Loyalist areas of Northern Ireland in the weeks before the 11th July, asking people to dump wood for bonfires. Unlike this example, most are usually spelled properly!

See Image Another triangular cover from the Hartley Sons & Co foundry, Stoke-on-Trent. Similar but not identical. The previous one carried the name “Mute”. This one is a “Hartlid”. Further information about the foundry’s history welcomed. On the Clandeboye Road just inward of Inglewood Park.

Solar panel powering the flashing lights on a “school” sign, outside Clandeboye Park football ground, on the Clandeboye Road.

A mural on the side of a shop. It reflects some of the local history of the Clandeboye Road (now under the moniker of 'Clandeboye Village') area of the town.

GVIR pillar box (BT20 588), on the Clandeboye Road, near the corner of Hazelbrook Avenue (out of picture to the left).

The “Ebenezer” gospel hall, at the corner of Church Street and Hazelbrook Avenue (right). Built in 1932 and described as “Gabled roughcast hall four bays deep, with additional porch and side hall”. In this context "Ebenezer" is not a man’s name rather a translation from the Hebrew meaning "a rock of help". Image shows the new hall under construction on the other side of Church Street.

Looking along Church Street towards Bangor Abbey from near the junction with Clandeboye Road.

Billboard advertisement about 'Legal Name Fraud' on the Belfast Road in Bangor. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36499750 for a good report on these and also the excellent description at Image The advert on the right is for the local 'Creative Peninsula' event. I can't get any more details on this as the link to the council website - as written on the advert - doesn't contain anything (that might be as I'm writing this after the event finished though).

The latest Phoenix Gas poster (featuring the Cave Hill and some of Belfast’s best-known buildings) on the Belfast Road, Bangor.

Drain cover on the Belfast Road, Bangor, bearing the name "J.F. Brice". A brief search of the records shows a coal importer J.F. Brice living in Farnham Road, Bangor, in 1910; there were also commercial premises named "Auction Mart (J.F. Brice & Son)" at 6 Central Avenue Image It is also possible that this is the same J.F. Brice who donated land off the Donaghadee Road to the borough to be used as a public park - Image Further information welcomed.
