Born in Bangor far too many years ago. Lived in Baylands and then Moira Drive overlooking the duck pond in the park. Remember the maypole, Pickie pool, Capproni's lovely ice cream with chocolate flakes. Moved to Canada & then California. Returned for a year when I was 18, worked at Glasgow's in Newtownards. Many years later return to see family often. Wonderful memories. Keenly interested in the ongoing struggle for everlasting peace! Saw Van Morrison & Bob Dylan in concert in Belfast a few years ago. Amazing!!!!! Hope to retire "back home" some day.

Hi:
Does anyone remember me? My mother owned The Kindly Welcome Restaurant and The Cooler on Gray's Hill. We left Bangor in 1975. I went to Bangor Intermediate School before they separated the sexes and it became Bangor Girls School.
I belonged to Pickie's Swimming Club and was active in the drama club. I'd love to hear from anyone who might remember me. I'm trying to get back to Bangor this summer for a visit with my daughters.
My brother's name is Mark and my sister is Louise.

Can any of you ex-pat Bangorians now living in Vancouver/Vancouver Island give me some pointers about whether it's a good idea to emigrate over to there?! We're about to begin moves in that direction and, while the 'net is great for stats and geo info, there's nothing like the opinion of someone who's there already!
Cheers,
Sean.

Hope somebody can help me. In 1966 & 1967, I spent the summer in Bangor, studying English. I was living in a wonderful family near Main street, and I cherish to this day my memories of Northern Ireland. Later on, as a young woman, I immigrated to Canada. The purpose of this message is to find David Laird, with whom I became good friend while in Bangor. His father operated at the time the boats in the harbour. David and I lost track of each other in the late sixties. If anybody knows anything about him, and where he is now, please send me an e-mail at the address indicated below. Thank you in advance.

A useful site where I was able to collect information about the history of the Bangor Harbour & Marina. Bridlington - East Yorkshire is in a similiar situation, a public enquiry is underway into whether to build a marina or not. At least 70% of the population is for the development including myself as I sit on the Yorkshire Harbour & Marina (Shadow) Authority. Comments from residents who remember the build process most welcome to:

Hello,
I just found your site while looking for Bangor Ireland on a search. I am interested in Lowden guitars, and I just found out they are built in your area of Ireland.
I hope to visit Ireland next summer, and I plan on making Bangor one of my stops if at all possible. As a musician, I'd love to see the place where such a fine instrument as the Lowden guitar is built.
Thanks.
Peace,
Mark
