About


Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!

We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia

We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details

An unusual reverse view to the classic shot across the Green to the Minster. This one looks across the Green towards where the Salamander kitchenware shop now is - a milliners in this picture.

The building on the corner is Dorset County Stores, according to the sign, established 1875.

The other obvious difference to today is, of course, the railings around the Green, taken down during the War.

Hint: Drag the orange pegman to see the Streetview image...
