My grandfather, William Thomas lived at 1 High Strret, Bangor around 1891.
He worked for the Chronical Newspaper.
His parents were John Thomas and Mary Hughes.
Henry Hughes and Elizabeth were Mary's parents.

Someone in Bangor might be able to give you more accurate information
but
I
looked up the addresses on this site.
http://www.zoopla.co.uk
It does not have 324 because it only has residential properties but it
does
have 322a, 322b, 326a and 326b (probably flats above shops). That
seems
to
put the location right in the middle of the High Street.
If you put in the other address then it does show an aerial picture of a
house though I can't say how old it is from that.
GEOGRAPH has a lot of pictures around there.
I think this might be looking down towards that location (at the end
perhaps)

If the map on ZOOPLA is right then the house on the left here could be
Green
Bank
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/655633
Possibly the prominent one here
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/189858
But I could be wrong!
