Local Interest
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!

- Tucktonia
- Bus Station at Bournemouth Square (destroyed by fire in July 1976)
- Saxon King Pub, Southbourne
Any information on any of these greatly appreciated!
