Gone But Not Forgotten
Local History
Every now and then I come across a photograph or postcard featuring something or somewhere in the Bournemouth area that I remember from the past. I always get a little buzz from these small discoveries and it seemed like a good idea to put some of them on this page so others can make these same discoveries, or if you're a bit younger perhaps give you a taste of what Bournemouth used to be like before you were around!
