Since it was founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, the Dorset resort
of Bournemouth has developed to become a favourite destination for
holidaymakers across the decades. Many people have happy
recollections of summers spent there, but although the memories
remain constant, the town has witnessed many changes, some good and
some bad. In Lost Bournemouth, local author John Needham brings
together 160 colour, black-and-white and sepia photographs from
throughout last century to show what has changed and how the way of
life has altered through the generations. The book will focus on
certain areas of the town such as the seafront and the pier, and
the cinemas, theatres and the Winter Gardens that entertained the
many visitors and residents of the town that have now vanished.
Even everyday street scenes show how Bournemouth has developed,
while pictures of the magnificent Victoria Gardens, with its once
great fountains that have been replaced with flower beds, reveal
what has been consigned to the history books. There are countless
changes to the town that have taken place and this book will bring
back many memories, using images from the past and some from the
present day. Lost Bournemouth shows the reader what has been
forgotten and what has disappeared through time. It is an
engrossing visual chronicle, providing a wealth of history and
recollections for residents and visitors alike.
