Treborth is a suburb of Bangor in Gwynedd, North West Wales.[1] The area is notable for the Treborth Botanic Garden.[2]
History
Treborth was originally part of the Treborth Isaf Estate and Treborth Hall.[3] It remained part of the estate until 1840s, when it was purchased for the construction of "Britannia Park" by the Chester and Holyhead Railway.[4] The construction of the nearby Britannia Bridge took place directly to the northwest of Treborth, which was also constructed by the Chester and Holyhead Railway in 1852.[5]
Transport
Treborth was served by its own railway station on the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway.[6] It was opened in 1854 and closed in 1959. The line between Bangor and Caernarfon closed in 1972.[7]
Present day
Treborth today is part of the Pentir community ward. It is home to the Treborth Playing Fields and a 3G football pitch.[8]
