A wonderful selection of photos from the Peter's Collection presented as sliders to show the difference in the views of Bournemouth from as far back as the 19th Century to photos taken in the same spot in the 1970s.
From the Pier Approach to Bournemouth Square and the Royal Bath Hotel to mention a few, a nostalgic look through the changes over the years.
Bournemouth Pier and approach pictured from the West Cliff circa 1870 and then from the same spot in 1977.
