Bangor Window - HMS Conway - Watercolour visual
A new window has been designed by David Hillhouse for installation in the H. M. S. Conway Chapel at Birkenhead Priory. It shows the training ship off Bangor Pier where she was anchored between 1941 and 1949. The illustration is a watercolour visual of what will be a hand painted piece of glass to be unveiled at a special ceremony to be held on Saturday 11 November 2006. The window will thus be on display at the Remembrance Sunday Service to be held on the following day 12 November.
The finished window will be approximately 104 cms. wide x 94 cms. high and painted on 6mm toughened plate glass. The Cadets are rowing their gig towards the ship. The rear of the 'Nelson' Figurehead is shown beneath the bowsprit completed with the crest from the Conway Cadet magazine. In the distance is Bangor Pier with the hills of the North Wales coast.
