Eisenhower Pier, Bangor formerly the North Pier – Missing Historical Plaques

We would like your assistance in tracing 2 small metal plaques that used to be on the gates to the North Pier in Bangor now known as Eisenhower Pier.
Contact us if you know where there are.

History Hub Ulster researchers were successful a few years ago in tracing the missing War Memorial from the former Elmwood Presbyterian Church, University Road, Belfast.

Plaque 1: Commemorates the embarkation from this pier of His Majesty King Edward the VII and Queen Alexandra on 27th July 1903

Plaque 2: Commemorates the landing at this pier of Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York on 19th July 1924

Public representatives have been asked to assist with the Eisenhower Pier query on a few occasions in the past. Our latest quest was via Councillor Peter Martin who kindly contacted council officials. Unfortunately, the answer remains the same: “… no one knows where the signs went …”. Peter has given his permission for the council response to be published with officials’ names redacted.

Please help us find the lost Eisenhower Pier plaques. You can contact History Hub Ulster by emailing research@historyhubulster.co.uk
