Bournemouth

A very large seaside resort in Dorset, and formerly Hampshire. The town was founded by Lewis Tregonwell in 1810 and grew steadily and became a proper town in 1870, when the railway came. Prior to this it was little more than several hamlets around the mouth of the Bourne stream.

  • The Holly Tree (formerly the Hollies) Pub, Mothballs wrote 7 years ago:
    Sadly the brewery (Greene King) closed this pub on 8-May-2016, when it was realised that the value of the land exceeded the projected takings of the business.

  • Turbary Retail Park, Valerie Harvey (guest) wrote 11 years ago:
    I received a parking penalty through the post today 18/9/13, from my shopping trip with friends on the 7th of September, they were so impressed with The Range that we obviously outstayed our welcome in the car park, I was horrified to receive the fine for £90, or £50 if I pay now!!, looking at the TPS website I noticed comments written by other unfortunate locals who like me really enjoy shopping at The Range as well as the other retail stores, so I phoned the range immediately to see if they could help me, I have just spoken to a very nice lady called Lucy, and she advised me that she will ensure that the fine is cancelled by sending the parking company an email with my details, "so simple", Just want to say a Big Thank You to Lucy for her very professional kindness and Thank You to The Range for being so helpful to their customers, I do not know of any other company that would be so obliging, will certainly keep shopping at The Range, but be more mindful of the time I spend parking!!!, although Lucy suggested that I let them know if I am going to be more than 5 hrs and they will take my car details and then "No Fine" "MAGIC" what more can you ask for??
