EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the heart of Bournemouth, Dorset in 1928, offers a glimpse into the charming atmosphere of a bygone era. The Square, a popular meeting place and social hub, is bustling with activity. In the foreground, a policeman, or 'bobby,' stands guard, keeping a watchful eye over the crowd. To his right, a group of ladies enjoy a leisurely tea in the lounge, their laughter and chatter adding to the lively scene. The trams, a common mode of transportation during the 1920s, wait at the stop, their distinctive bells ringing in the distance. The trams were a convenient and affordable way for locals and tourists to explore the town and its surroundings, including the nearby tram station and the beautiful South Coast of Dorset. The spire of St. Peter's Church can be seen rising above the buildings in the background, a constant reminder of the town's rich history and religious heritage. The Square, with its lush greenery and open space, provided a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life, making it a favorite gathering place for the community. This photograph captures the essence of Bournemouth in the 1920s, a time of growth, prosperity, and social connection. The Square, with its tea lounge, trams, and picturesque church, stands as a testament to the town's enduring charm and character.
