Market Street, Bangor
Formerly just a lane to Castle Square, the street was developed in the inter-war years. Damaged by a terrorist bomb in 1993, many of the buildings were demolished and reconstructed. Castle Square is now a supermarket car park but still hosts a sadly depleted market every Wednesday morning.

Old Spectator Building, Bangor
The old offices of the Spectator Newspaper in Main Street, Bangor.

Telephone junction box, Bangor
Telephone junction box located outside the southern entrance to Bangor Post Office at the corner of Main Street and Castle Park Avenue. These boxes, first used by the General Post Office Telegraph Department (this one is marked GPO - see Image) and later by British Telecom, are still commonly found in the UK. Most are painted in this colour - known as GPO green - but some are also found in gray (there are examples in central Belfast). Recently some of these boxes in Bangor have been removed as part of the "BT Infinity" project which aims to increase broadband speeds in the area - new cables have been installed which presumably do not fit in the old boxes and larger modern replacements have been sited in their place.
