More about this scene

Here we see new building in post-war Wales - new shops, a supermarket and offices in the form of a modern precinct. Beyond are new university buildings and the Theatre Gwynedd sprouting from the trees, showing a forward-looking spirit in this ancient cathedral city. Such modernisation has proved successful in helping attract students to its university campus in the decades following the war.

Bangor Bus Station
For a young bus enthusiast in the 1960s, the bus station on Garth Road was the gateway to Anglesey and many of the country routes behind Bangor. Such exciting places as Gerlan, Bethesda, Tregarth and Rhiwlas could be reached for modest fares using bus services provided by the 'buckingham green' Crosville buses.

On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
