Sister Enid Butler's Orphanage.
I was a child that lived at the 'Sister Butler's orphanage' in the early I960s. This message is to anyone that was also at the orphanage at that time, particularly Alison Burbidge, as I have read her account stating that Alison would have been at the orphanage at the same time as me. I have a lot of memories of... [more]

There was also another lady, sadly deceased, called Mrs Sturney that would have adopted me but was sadly considered "too old". Any information on these people gladly welcomed. Mrs Sturney's first name was Gwendoline as far as I can remember

I was looked after by a lovely lady called Sister (Enid) Butler who took in unwanted children until they were re- homed either by fostering or adoption (this was me).
There was a young lad there called Peter who allegedly set fire to the original building with a cigarette end. I was adopted in about 1962 by a family who lived... [more]

Dorset memories
My sister remembers cycling to Gaunts Common just after my great-grandfather died, my great-grandmother stayed at a house there, there was an old railway carraige in the garden which was used as a caravan, and my grandmother stayed there for a while. The owners were probably Steele-Bartlett-Sweatland or Chalk, all family names. Also there was a photo of my great-great-grandfather Edward... [more]

Hobbs, Haywards and Quarterjack Toys
My parents bought the shop and house in the foreground in 1980. You could just see a 'Hobbs' sign painted on the front of the building and Mr L E Hayward had a toy and pram shop there which he had run since just after the war, I think. You can still see his shop in the model town in Wimborne.... [more]

I can remember being a very nervous new entrant to the Grammar School and going to Langers to buy a tennis racket and hockey stick. The public conveniences and telephone box were opposite, if I remember rightly.

Whitethorn Morris at Wimborne Folk Festival - 2008
I enjoyed this 2008 Wimborne Folk Festival and consider it one of the best of the many I have performed at with Whitethorn Morris over the last 20 plus years. The Saturday procession was packed with spectators enjoying both the performers and the glorious weather - there must have been hundreds watching from the Minster Green alone!

Weymouth Photographic Memories
Weymouth expanded considerably during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as the town attempted to cater for the huge increase in tourists. Several of these photographs show rebuilding work being carried out on sea front properties.

Weymouth Photographic Memories
The early use of bathing machines made Weymouth a popular resort for sea bathing. As time went by, these machines were replaced by single-sex saloons that ran on rails down to the water, each with a number of cubicles. Affluent visitors were still able to hire single-cubicle changing facilities for themselves.

Weymouth Photographic Memories
A band serenades the promenaders on a hot Edwardian day. Parasols, perambulator covers and hats deflect the sun's rays. This was the last period when Weymouth sea front could be enjoyed without the regular sound of passing motor cars - and the resultant exhaust fumes.
