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.
The sixties, seventies and eighties were decades of great change.
Many towns and cities were redeveloped with projects that
dramatically affected the character of the place. People’s
shopping habits were altered as supermarkets took over from
traditional stores and corner shops. Leisure habits were changing
too, as cheap air travel led to the arrival of the foreign package
holiday and a new range of leisure facilities were developed at
home. Fashions, as ever, were changing in this period, reflecting
radical changes in society and the ways in which we viewed
ourselves. Transport also evolved, with a move away from the
railway and buses, creating a strain on the roads leading to new
road schemes. These changes in people’s habits and lifestyles
were keenly felt in Bournemouth on the south coast of England. As
the town grew in size, the traditional seaside resort also became a
conference centre. Areas of the town and landmarks were
redeveloped, sometimes controversially, and the town’s service
and financial industries expanded alongside the wide range of
cultural activities on offer. Local author John Needham recaptures
it all in this fascinating portrayal of the town and its people
over the course of these most nostalgic decades.
Each of my stories portray settings that seem as though they may
have really happened, but could not possibly be so. Each and every
concept is straight out of my head, and figments of my imagination.
None of the content is real, even if I wanted or willed it to be.
All of it is pure fantasy, as much as it would be nice that any of
it is real. It is my strongest hope that I draw you in to imagine
along with me for a while.
