More about this scene
Bournemouth Pier stands above the original mouth of the River Bourne. Its construction marked the town's commitment to its role as a resort. Only a century after its foundation, the town was already dominating the skyline and its beaches were among the most crowded on the south coast.Thomas Hardy described the town as 'Sandbourne' in his novel 'The Hand of Ethelberta', and immortalised it in 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' as 'the city of detached mansions'.
