Former School And Museum To Be Converted To Homes

A historic building which was most recently home to a private school will be converted into nine properties. Cyngor Gwynedd planners have given permission for the 'impressive' Grade II listed building in Bangor city centre to be used for housing.

The building, pictured, has historic links with the nearby Bangor Cathedral, and was formerly used to provide accommodation as the old Canonry. But it was more recently known as the former home of the Bangor Independent School, which closed in 2023.

It was also the site of the former Gwynedd Museum and Art Gallery, later rebranded and relocated to the nearby 16th century Bishop's Palace as the Storiel museum, gallery and cafe. Councillors agreed to permit the new proposals, which would include two affordable homes in the scheme.
