A little bit of history

Photo courtesy of Dr M Aryes - Swanage Town Council

Some time ago I asked via the blog if anyone knew what was originally at the site of the new Coastguard Station at North Beach Car Park.


Well there I was in the Town Clerk's Office and there on the wall........a picture of North Swanage and the development of De Moulham Road.


The picture shows De Moulham Road with allotments and the development of Bonfield Avenue around 1920, perhaps?


The site of the future station is just waste ground? It doesn't even appear to be farm land.


The stream doesn't seem to exist let alone the car park.

And on the right hand side, you can just make out Ian and Oz walking up de Moulham Road.
