The school of chemistry at Bangor University has been awarded a Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) National Chemical Landmark

The school of chemistry at Bangor University has been awarded a Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) National Chemical Landmark in recognition of the work done by Professor Edward (Ted) Hughes on the kinetics and mechanisms in organic chemistry during the period of 1943-48. The award coincides with the school's own 125-year celebrations of chemistry at Bangor.

Professor Merfyn Jones, vice-chancellor of the university accepted a commemorative blue plaque from Professor David Philips, RSC president-elect, at a ceremony at the university's main PJ Hall in October.
