A shelter roof on Bangor Pier
Currently the shelter structure is dismantled for repairs, leaving a visually curious arrangement of an onion dome on wheels. Beside this is the outdoor seating of the newly-opened Pavilion Cafe.
Alan's gift shop, Bangor Pier
Found at the first of three pairs of kiosks, recently repainted in various bright colours.
Entrance to Bangor Pier
Recently repainted in a new colour scheme, but perhaps cluttered with more signage than would be ideal. Volunteers now man the toll booth, as a response to the alarmingly large quantities of people previously ignoring the 50p honesty box.
Bangor Pier, viewed from the "Roman Camp"
One of the most elevated local areas in Bangor. Some structural restoration of the Pier is ongoing.
Bangor Pier
A very distant view of the Pier from another; St George's Pier in Menai Bridge.
Old Railway Bridge
Originally carrying the mainline branch and Penrhyn Quarry lines to Port Penrhyn. Now a footpath/cycle path. In the foreground is part of the earlier bridge carrying the horse tramway from Penrhyn Quarry.
Garth is located at Grid Ref: SH5873 (Lat: 53.235791, Lng: -4.124016)
