In 1970 you could have this cracker for just under £1300...soon you can have our latest episode on the last-ever Bangor Street Directory for absolutely nothing!
It's also a cracker.

Here at #LittleBangorStories people sometimes lend us curiosities to look at - and we LOVE that! This is from a proper scrapbook of the 1930s/40s...

My local weekly paper, the Co.Down Spectator, pays tribute to #RoryMcIlroy with wraparound cover today. His hometown, #Holywood, is just up the road from #Bangor.
Love it.
