Bangor British Restaurant on Deiniol Road

[Admin (Matt)]

Bangor British Restaurant on Deiniol Road opened in 1942 near the junction with Glanrafon. Set up by the local council, encouraged by the Ministry of Food, to ensure that people were adequately nourished. It closed at the end of May 1945 after having served almost a quarter of a million meals.
