A History of Poole and Neighbourhood
Poole, in Dorset, and its port date back to Roman times. By the 13th century the town had a charter and was prospering on the trade with Bordeaux, the Aquitaine then belonging to the English Crown. As a result Poole over-took Wareham to become the major port and the main town in the area. From Tudor times the Newfoundland fishery trade brought increased prosperity, which had its 'golden age' in the 18th century - a period when the area began to be infamous for smuggling. The author's scholarly research underlies his very readable text, supported by a superb selection of illustrations. A much acclaimed history of this important south-coast town.

The Book of Poole
Poole is Dorset's biggest historic town and home to the second largest natural harbour in the world. It includes Harmworthy, the Old Town and Sandbanks, the most valuable real estate this side of Tokyo. The Second World War re-established Poole as a major transatlantic base for the flying-boat services. It also witnessed D-Day invasion bares and Royal Marine commandos of the Special Boat Squadron. The Book of Poole reveals how, even today, Georgian streets and Victorian potteries are the backdrop to a constantly changing scene, which remains home to a thriving community. All this, and much more, is detailed in this 160 page book, copiously illustrated throughout with over 200 historic photographs of the places and people who have made up the thriving community of Poole and its surrounding parish.
