[5] It was also an ancient borough from earlier privileges granted to Bangor in medieval times, [6] but an 1835 government report investigating municipal corporations concluded that this status was defunct and in name only. [7] The borough was reformed in 1883 into a municipal borough. In many ways, the Great Fire was cleansing. Some of the destroyed buildings, such as the Morse Oliver building, were architectural treasures of the Queen City. Many others, including brothels and tenement houses left over from Bangor’s days as the region’s lumber capital, were not. Ua Clerigh, Arthur. "Antiphonary of Bangor." The Catholic Encyclopedia.

By the middle of the 19th century, the cotton mills had declined and the city changed in character once again. The laying of the railway in 1865 meant that inexpensive travel from Belfast was possible, and working-class people could afford for the first time to holiday in the city. Bangor soon became a fashionable resort for Victorian holidaymakers, as well as a desirable home to the wealthy. Many of the houses overlooking Bangor Bay (some of which have been demolished to make way for modern flats) date from this period. The belief in the restorative powers of the sea air meant that the city became a location for sea bathing and marine sports, and the number of visitors from Great Britain increased during the Edwardian era at the beginning of the 20th century, which also saw the improvement of Ward Park.
