The Normal College, Bangor (Welsh: Y Coleg Normal) was an independent teacher training college, founded in 1858.[1] It was created through the efforts of the British and Foreign School Society and the educator Sir Hugh Owen, and was funded by £11,000 raised through subscription and £2,000 of Government money. Teaching began on temporary premises in January 1858 and the College opened on its permanent site in 1862.[1] In 1979 it changed its name to Y Coleg Normal, Bangor or in English: The Normal College, Bangor. In 1996 it became part of University College of North Wales (now Bangor University).
