EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Time Honored Stroll through Bournemouth's Upper Gardens: A Glance into the Past" The Upper Gardens in Bournemouth, Dorset, England, have long been a beloved destination for visitors and locals alike, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This photograph, taken circa 1906, transports us back in time to an era of elegance and charm. At the heart of the scene lies the Upper Gardens, a public park that stretches from the town center to the East Cliff. Lush greenery, meticulously manicured flower beds, and winding paths create an idyllic setting for leisurely strolls. The gardens were designed by Thomas H. Mawson and opened in 1885, reflecting the Victorian era's emphasis on urban green spaces. In the upper left corner of the image, the Richmond Hill St. Andrew's United Reformed Church (URC) stands proudly. Constructed between 1863 and 1864, this historic church is a testament to the rich religious history of Bournemouth. The Gothic Revival-style architecture, with its pointed arches and intricate stonework, adds a sense of grandeur and sophistication to the scene. A quaint stone bridge spans the Bourne River, which runs through the gardens, connecting the Upper and Lower Gardens. The bridge, adorned with iron railings, offers a picturesque vantage point for observing the serene waterway and the verdant landscape beyond. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Bournemouth's past, inviting us to appreciate the town's enduring beauty and the history that lies within its gardens and churches.
