Roger - Bournemouth Square 1925

|Fri-09-2007

I can believe that the photo was colourised in 1925, but judging from the
dateable features, I reckon it was taken somewhere around 1910.

Taken 1905 - 1910.What awful hand tinting ! The Square seen from the junction of
Old Christchurch Rd and Gervis Place.Today WH Smiths in Southbourne
Terrace[1865][out of shot] is directly on our right. Central Chambers[1888] on
the corner of Richmond Hill was then home to The Empress Hotel but is now Nat
West.On the other side of The Square the buildings on the left occupy the site
where Debenhams and Boots now stand.
The building in the centre on the far side
at the junction of Commercial Rd and Avenue Rd is The London Hotel,rebuilt, it
was for some years John Colliers menswear and is now Vodafone.
