This postcard was printed and published by J. Salmon Ltd., Sevenoaks.  In the foreground is the War Memorial which was erected in 1923 in honor of the 220 Bangor men who sacrificed their lives in the First World War.  Later, a further 95 names were added to commemorate those who had fallen during the Second World War.

In the background stands Bangor University's 'Main Arts' building.  The bank between Main Arts and Deiniol Road is a nice reminder/education (the latter for me!) on how it looked in the late 1930's, when the SU and Theatr Gwynedd were not built.
