Although Bournemouth was only developed in the last 200 years, the town has a fascinating history. Behind the façade of this seaside resort, is a story of singular events, little known personalities, and places that are often overlooked or forgotten today. In Secret Bournemouth, author Andrew Jackson reveals the history of Bournemouth below its surface, from the creation of a resort by the Tregonwell family in area of sand dunes and heath frequented by smugglers, who took advantage of the secluded chines running through the cliffs from the shore, to the present-day large business and commercial centre on the South Coast. Along the way we look at Bournemouth at war, its special place in aeronautical history, entertainments and other leisure attractions that have attracted many people over the years, its connections to the arts and literature and much more.With tales of remarkable characters, unusual events and tucked away or disappeared historical buildings and locations, Secret Bournemouth will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of this resort on the South Coast.
