Neuadd Reichel in 1984

One of the best things about being a student in Bangor was staying in Neuadd Reichel, probably the best student accommodation in the world. In the 1980s Neuadd Reichel was a male only hall of residence, as it had been since it was built in the 1940s. When I was there it was still relatively formal, although the academic gowns worn when my Dad was in the same hall in the late 50s had gone. It was fully catered, with unlimited breakfasts (I recall aiming to be first in the queue each morning), and a decent evening meal. Sunday lunch was more formal. I still have the formal printed menus from the Christmas dinner. Within Reichel was a beautiful Junior Common Room, and a reasonable library. The rooms were spacious and mine (number 76) had spectacular panoramic views from Anglesey to Snowdonia. There was a formal full hall photograph taken each year, and they were then framed and placed on long central hallway. Here is the one from 1984:
