Memories of growing up in Bournemouth and Poole

It is a group where you can share memories of the area - including Christchurch, Swanage, Wareham and Wimborne.

But we want it to be a place for you to discuss what you loved most about the area. And somewhere for people to see how the conurbation has changed, if they've just moved here.

• SEVEN pubs from the past – which was your favourite?

We asked our members to finish a sentence for us when the group launched: You know you grew up in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch when you remember...

And these were the some of the results.

• Lava and Ignite/Circo and Elements/Zoo and the Cage/Clouds and Zigzags
• The Hampshire Centre
