A visit to Kilcooley Estate in Bangor today, left me reminiscing about my teens and early twenties, when I lived with my parents and family on Owenroe Drive, – one of the main routes through this large social housing development, – the third largest in Northern Ireland.
A walk in mid June along the sea front at Bangor,- where I grew up – in the days before the Bangor Marina was constructed!

I grew up in Bangor, so the sea-front, the piers and the area surrounding it were the background to my youth. Just beyond the North Pier is The Long Hole, a sea inlet, into a rocky narrow pool, quarried out from the rocks in the 19th century, with man-made slipways and walkways. The Long Hole is now disused as a harbour.
