-Some 36% of the people of the area

-speak Welsh.

-Small shops line the city's

-long high street.

-Many of the large stores

-and supermarkets...

-..have moved

-This big hospital

-serves Gwynedd and Anglesey.

-What do local people

-think of Bangor?

-It's nice.

-I was brought up near Bangor

-and it's lovely.

-It's a relatively small place.

-It's easy to get to know the people

-and the area.

-It's a lively city,

-with plenty of shops and cafes.

-I come here in the afternoon,

-to go shopping and have a cuppa.

-There's lots to do in Bangor

-with your friends...

-..or with your family.

-It's great.

-I like the fact that people from all

-parts of the world live in Bangor.

-The beautiful Bangor Cathedral

-has a rich history.

-Saint Deiniol built a church here

-in the 6th century.

-A wooden fence

-was erected around the church.

-The name for that type of fence

-was bangor...

-..and that's how Bangor

-got its name.

-the city's most iconic buildings.

-It was a very busy station...

-..with trains trundling through it

-day and night.

-and presenter Tudur Owen.

-at Bangor station.

-Some of my earliest memories

-come from this place.

-and I like that.

-It's seen so many people come and go

-and I love to reflect on that.

-I also like to reminisce about

-the times I came here as a boy.

-For a child, the steps at the front

-of the station were quite iconic.

-I remember thinking as a child...

-..that the steps were the gateway

-to the rest of the world.

-That's what they were,

-as far as I was concerned.

-More often than not, journeys

-began or ended at Bangor Station.

-There's a lot of emotion attached

-to this place - for me, anyway.

-As a family, we travelled a lot

-and that's still true today.

-I'm always excited

-on the platform...

-..whether it's to meet someone

-or see them off.

-There's a tunnel

-at either end of the platform.

-You could hear the train approaching

-before you could see it.

-The tracks made a whistling noise.

-We'd look into the darkness

-and see the light emerging.

-We'd know that Mam, Dad

-or both of them were home.

-I remember one time,

-when they went to South Africa...

-..for several weeks, definitely.

-One of my earliest memories...

-..is saying goodbye to my parents,

-and Elen and Richard, my siblings.

-I was too young to go but I remember

-holding Auntie Katie's hand...

-..and hiding behind her shyly

-when I welcomed them back.

-Mam was upset because I was so shy.

-what's gone on here over the years.

-I've had so many experiences here...

-..welcoming people home

-and saying farewell.

-I love this place.

-Look who I've met for a cuppa -

-Ffion Dafis!

-How are you?

-How are you?

-

-Fine, thanks.

-We've just seen Tudur

-at Bangor Station.

-I'm sure you've been there

-many times...

-..as you catch trains

-to and from Cardiff.

-That's very true.

-I've lived in Cardiff for years

-but I work up here.

-We film Rownd A Rownd

-in nearby Menai Bridge...

-..so I spend most of my time

-either in the car, on the A470...

-..or on the train.

-I leave the train at Bangor station,

-of course.

-What sort of place was Bangor

-for a child?

-I moved to Bangor

-when I was eight years old...

-..from a tiny village of 200 people

-called Dolwyddelan.

-My father was appointed headmaster

-of the Welsh-medium primary school.

-We moved to Bangor...

-..and I thought I'd arrived

-in the biggest city in the world.

-I enjoyed growing up in Bangor.

-I'm really glad my parents

-moved from the tiny village.

-As much as I love Dolwyddelan...

-..I'm glad

-I was brought up in a city.

-You went to Bangor University.

-Was that a new experience?

-I didn't live at home.

-I moved into halls of residence.

-I hardly saw my parents.

-I'd go home from time to time

-to wash my clothes...

-..and to have Sunday lunch...

-..but apart from those times,

-I didn't see my parents.

-Upper Bangor was our world,

-as students.

-We came down into town

-to drink in the pubs...

-..but we spent most of our time

-in Upper Bangor.

-We went to pubs like the Globe,

-the Vaults and the Belle Vue...

-..and we even went to a few lectures

-every now and then!

-During my student days, I met a lot

-of people from every part of Wales.

-It was a very different experience.

-My best friend and I went from

-junior school to secondary school...

-..and then on to college together.

-We even shared a room, as students.

-Very adventurous!

-Has Bangor changed a lot?

-When you don't live somewhere

-all the time...

-..you do notice lots more changes

-when you come back.

-I think Bangor has changed

-in a negative way...

-..in terms of what's happening

-on the streets.

-A lot of shops have closed.

-It wasn't easy

-being a Welsh-speaker in Bangor...

-..when I was at school

-and growing up.

-You had to battle

-for your Welshness...

-..even in Ysgol Tryfan, at the time.

-Menter Iaith Bangor

-was launched around a year ago.

-I hope it can promote

-the language...

-..and increase

-the use of Welsh in Bangor.

-The native Welsh speakers

-are still here...

-..but so many people come to Bangor

-to study and some even stay here...

-..and it's very important that they

-realize the Welsh language exists.

-Thank you, Ffion.

-We'll chat again later.

-Let's take a break

-and finish our coffee.

-I remember the first day

-that I came here with Mam.

-I felt, "Wow, this is it now.

-I've left home."

-Mam was ill for many years.

-Responsibility at home

-fell on my father.

-He looked after Mam.

-It was a very difficult situation

-for both of them.

-I felt a strong emotional urge...

-..to return home to Bryn Tanat.

-This is where the group Bwchadanas

-was formed...

-..with friends I'd met

-during the first year.

-Young like-minded musicians.

-That, in itself, was a huge step.

-It was something I'd dreamt of

-before arriving here.

-"Ooh, I wonder if I could be

-in a band?"

-The response to Bwchadanas

-surprised me.

-I didn't know what to expect.

-Performing at gigs

-and seeing people dance...

-..that was wow, it was great!

-It was an opportunity

-to express myself differently...

-..in terms of the way

-I performed and used my voice.

-That was a new experience for me.

-I'd been singing to harp

-accompaniment since I was 14.

-The concerts I'd attended

-were rather respectable affairs.

-In Bangor,

-I was in a band with the lads.

-They were influenced

-by rock and roll music.

-Further down the line,

-we had drums and a bass guitar.

-That opened the floodgates for me.

-We played rock instruments...

-..while singing folk songs.

-That was a huge influence on me...

-..especially later on,

-with my folk songs.

-It was exciting, really exciting.

-I don't think you can measure the

-importance of going to college...

-..especially if it's

-the right choice, which it was.

-I developed musically.

-Mind you, the music department

-became a bit of an also-ran...

-..compared to the exciting things

-that were going on elsewhere.

-I also developed as a person.

-When I first arrived,

-I didn't know how to write a cheque.

-I felt so naive.

-I'd never had to write a cheque.

-At the university,

-I learnt a lot about myself.

-I'm very grateful to this place.

-Among the famous people of Bangor...

-..are singer Steve Eaves and Duffy

-and the band Swnami...

-..broadcaster Dewi Llwyd...

-..and Crystal Palace and Wales

-footballer Wayne Hennessey.

-The very dapper Islwyn Parry

-is one of Bangor's great characters.

-He always looks smart...

-..and he only wears

-co-ordinating colours...

-..all the way down to his slippers!

-I met him to talk about

-his wardrobe some years ago.

-I'm from a dapper family

-and my father was a bus driver.

-He wore the jacket and trousers

-supplied by the company.

-He was always neat

-and he wore a peaked cap.

-I think I inherited this from him

-to some extent.

-I was fond of wearing a blazer,

-a white shirt and a tie...

-..when I was at college.

-Being well-dressed was important

-to me, even back then.

-Gabicci is a well-known brand.

-I like these jumpers.

-I'll hold them for you.

-This orange shirt

-goes with the orange jumper.

-This blue shirt

-goes with the blue jumper.

-This goes with the green jumper.

-The fact that they match

-is important to me.

-Men tend to wear drab colours

-like grey and black.

-I always wanted to be different.

-That's what's behind

-the way I dress.

-My desire to express myself lies

-behind the way I choose my clothes.

-This is my leather jacket.

-I bought it from Devred.

-I wear this black leather jacket

-with a grey polo neck.

-The polo neck goes well with it.

-I wear a hat with this jacket too.

-You wear hats?

-Yes. A hat is handy on a windy day

-for a man with hair like me!

-Shall I put it on?

-Shall I put it on?

-

-Yes - model it for me.

-Oh, very smart.

-Do you like the feather on the side?

-I wear a grey hat with dark colours

-but never with brown clothes.

-I wear my brown hat

-with brown clothes.

-May I try it?

-I bought that one in Paris.

-It suits you.

-How much will you give me for it?

-This is my dressing gown.

-As you can see,

-it matches the rest of my bedroom.

-I also have two pairs of trousers

-and a vest which match.

-They all go well

-with the colours of your bedroom.

-Yes, and I also need

-a pair of slippers.

-I also buy my slippers in France.

-I won't wear slippers

-which don't match my outfit.

-I buy them in neutral colours and

-these are the flavour of the month.

-If we change the decor,

-I'll change these!

-The decor comes first,

-then the slippers.

-Alwena won't let me decorate

-the room to match my clothes!

-Would it be a nightmare for you

-if someone at a wedding...

-..turned up in the same suit as you?

-..turned up in the same suit as you?

-

-It's unlikely to happen.

-They'd have to go far to buy it!

-But it wouldn't be

-a nightmare for me.

-I'd be thrilled that someone

-has the same taste as me!

-If there is someone like me

-out there, I've yet to meet them.

-Our journey today ends in Sling...

-..on the back road

-from Bethesda to Bangor.

-At the Moelyci centre, they grow

-some very unusual vegetables.

-Iolo Williams went there to chat

-with one of the workers, Paul Ellis.

-Paul, how are you?

-You're busy. What are you doing?

-Boxing up vegetables

-for local people.

-People have already bought these?

-They've booked them

-for the season.

-They collect them

-on Friday mornings.

-What exactly is this place?

-It's a collection of projects.

-I'm one of them -

-I sell produce.

-Someone makes compost.

-There's a manager

-to look after the land.

-There are allotments over there.

-Fifty people work on the allotments,

-all year round.

-This food looks delicious.

-I know most of these -

-pumpkins, onions and garlic.

-What's this?

-I have no idea what it could be.

-I've never seen such a thing.

-What is it?

-You can try it.

-Taste that.

-It's OK, is it? It's not poisonous.

-Are you sure?

-It's like a bland melon! What is it?

-A cucumber.

-A cucumber? It's round.

-Dear me.

-Dear me.

-

-It's called a crystal apple.

-Crystal apple cucumber?

-I should have known that.

-I've never seen anything like it.

-Well, well, well.

-That's the thing with this place.

-We try to grow food

-that you won't find in the shops.

-Different food.

-It's important not to compete

-against each other.

-Tomatoes are the same - we have

-different tomatoes and cucumbers.

-Yellow courgettes -

-you can't buy those in the shops.

-A lot of these foods

-aren't available in the shops.

-That's what we're trying to do.

-Do you want some help?

-I'll come out and help you.

-I'll have another bite of that.

-Off we go.
