About the Book

The seaside town of Bournemouth was founded as a watering place in the early nineteenth century in an area of barren land on the South Coast known for smuggling. After developing as a health resort, the railways arrived and the town grew rapidly, becoming a popular destination for visitors. Today, Bournemouth welcomes millions of visitors every year to its beaches and festivals, its two piers - one at Bournemouth and one at Boscombe - and long promenade, and is a cultural and commercial centre of the area. Many of its outstanding Victorian buildings have been preserved and stand alongside art deco and more recent landmark buildings. In 'A-Z of Bournemouth', author Bill Hoodless delves into the history of the town, from evidence of the earliest settlers in the area to the present day. He highlights well-known historic landmarks such as the Winter Gardens, former home of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, forgotten stories from yesteryear such as a tram tragedy, and the air crash that killed Charles Rolls, co-founder of Rolls-Royce Ltd, famous residents and visitors such as Robert Louis Stevenson, and also digs beneath the surface to uncover some of the lesser-known facts about Bournemouth and its hidden places of interest.This fascinating A-Z tour of Bournemouth's history is fully illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in this Dorset seaside town.
