    Castles, Quarries, and Communities

    Bangor University Campus

    Two hours for four weeks

    Building on the interest in Bangor History’s ‘College on the Hill’ event for the University’s 140th Anniversary, this course explores different aspects of the history and heritage of north Wales. Our historians and archaeologists are passionate experts in their field of study, and the course is designed to introduce some of the more contested aspects of local and community history.

    Across four weeks, participants will explore:

    1. The Castles of Wales: Past and Present (with Dr Euryn Roberts)
    2. Country Houses and the Welsh landscape (with Dr Shaun Evans/Dr Lowri Ann Rees)
    3. Sandcastles and Sunny Rhyl (with Dr Mari Wiliam)
    4. Past, Present and Future: The changing uses of Welsh slate Quarries (with Dr Leona Huey)                                                                                        For more information visit https://www.bangor.ac.uk/courses/other-courses/castles-quarries-and-communities?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2iGO3ljulKM_XyIQlNW2cefZCRtHvJX-BjOgku6x_W1F1zapcm9aDSvuA_aem_WL8i0rSy0zsC80Oihfuh_Q
