History

Together with Nos 2 to 20 this group of houses resulted from the work of the Bangor branch of "Christian Order in Politics Economics and Citizenship[" (COPEC). They campaigned for a nation-wide improvement in housing conditions believing that poor housing equalled moral decline. A regional conference was held in Bangor in 1924, a survey carried out in 1926 and in March 1927 as a result of inaction by the local authority this site was acquired. Each house had brick cavity walls, 2 ground floor rooms, 3 bedrooms, a bath, lavatory and hot water boiler. The houses which in all cost £8,000 were very successful and remained a model for social housing as Copec’s work was work was not matched by the local council.

Built 1927, architect Herbert L North of Llanfairfechan; builder Richard Owen.
