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.

Castle Park, Bangor (1)
The Bangor castle and grounds were once the property of the Hamilton family. Both are now in municipal ownership. The castle is the town hall and the grounds are known as Castle Park. They still retain the feel of a private estate rather than a manicured public park. This leafy glade is adjacent to the town hall.

Fountain near Queen's Parade, Bangor
By day the fountain, off Queen’s Parade, near the marina is a mundane municipal manifestation. By night it is transformed into a fantastic floodlit feature. Absolute nonsense but it makes a pleasant photograph.
