BANGOR GARTH PIER 125TH ANNIVERSARY
On 14th May 2021, Bangor Garth Pier celebrated its 125th year anniversary. On that day in 1896, Lord Penrhyn officially opened the pier following a procession through the city and a crowd of over 5,000 people assembled to watch the opening ceremony. The current situation meant a large-scale event was not possible but the Mayor of Bangor, Cllr Owen Hurcum, unveiled a new plaque commemorating the anniversary. Following social distancing rules, the Mayor was joined by other members of Bangor City Council, kioskholders and representatives of Friends of Bangor Garth Pier (FGBP)
