Walking Jewish History

Welcome to this tour of Jewish Bangor. Here you will uncover the hidden history of Jews in this city from medieval times to the present day. Although very little extant traces of their presence survive, Jewish immigrants to Bangor had a significant impact on the civic, cultural, political and economic life of the city and it is this hidden history we aim to uncover in this location aware app.

The app makes use of the location capabilities of your phone to show the nearest historical points of interest when walking around Bangor and can also alert you to these locations when you pass nearby.

The app content is available in both Welsh and English languages.
