My Memories of Weymouth

I enjoyed the photos of Weynmouth and other memories - I used to visit my aunt and uncle through the 1950s when they ran a hotel right on the quay called The Edward Hotel, now made into apartments I believe. It was right opposite the Alexandra Gardens Theatre and I enjoyed seeing so many summer shows and meeting many stage personalities - I still have two full autograph books to prove it and I am in my mid-seventies now and live on the other side of the world! They were great holidays never to be forgotten though. I made good friends there and still correspond with one who worked at the hotel which makes our friendship 65 years old next year! I have many friends still resident in Dorset and last visited in 2001.
