No! I'm not a nostalgic grumpy old conservationist! May I take this opportunity of thanking all those who reacted off and on list to my rather depressed mail, and yes, I will take the littl'uns to Dorset. The actual seafront at Weymouth doesn't seem to suffered overmuch, but I'd better get moving before the Town Council (my mum always said "the Corporation" - why did that come back?) decide that all that georgio-victorian rubbish has to go! As for the countryside, apart from road-widenings and by-passes I suppose it hasn't changed too much. I do remember lurching round what were then "main" roads just wide enough to take the old chocolate-brown Bere Regis coaches. I don't think there were any double carriageways in Dorset before 1965. I stand to be corrected of course. Special word to Brian - I can make it to Weymouth, but the kids would probably prefer California!! Geoff

Hi Pat Not quite the same , unless your Granfers more recent than mine . They have modern conviences like mains water & electric , and the very mixed blessing of a car . My Allen grandparents lived in a block of cottages just off Hatch Pond Road , Poole . The Council regularly tried to have them demolished as unfit for habitation , but the landlords held them off untill c 1920 when a mains water standpipe was installed at the end of the lane . Everybody was happy then ,the Council had done their bit for public health , the landlords put the rent up , and the cottagers carried on as before - paying rent as seldom as they could get away with , and using water from their (contaminated) wells , which was much softer and tasted better . In the mid 1930s the water supply was extended to the individual cottages , and mains gas arrived for lighting , cooking and heating water for laundry & baths , which must have become more frequent . Electricity & mains sewage arrived in the mid 1950s. Untill then the sanitary arrangements were an earth-closet across the lane . The contents were dug out 3-4 times a year and mixed with the compost heap for use on the large vegetable garden (hence the contaminated well) . I lived with my other grandparents , but I remember that cottage as a dingy smokey 2 up 2 down , with a dank front extension that was Kichen , Laundry , Bathroom & Cycle Shed all in one . 7 of their 8 children (born 1907/22) lived to draw their old age pensions , which leads to me taking a fairly robust view of the latest health scares .

Hello List and Geoff in particular. Some of us would give our eye teeth to take our grandkids to Weymouth or any other part of lovely Dorset.You and the kids will enjoy all sorts of stuff you can tell them about,you are indeed lucky to have the choice.. TAKE EM while you are still able. All the very best with envy Brian. Concord California

I think you ought to have a look for yourself, and take along the grandchildren. Let them judge for themselves whether Weymouth looks like Majorca or not! Im sure you will find many places you once knew that have not changed at all. Kim from the Blackmore Vale in Dorset, England kim@white.evesham.net I use Archive CD Books.

For my umpteenth birthday someone had the bright idea of presenting me with "Weymouth - The Golden Years", a book of photos taken by G.Herbert and mostly covering the years 1945-65. Which was when I was I youngster. The photos are wonderful and bring back....well, like it was yesterday. The commentaries are also very good, but terribly depressing. This is X Street, demolished in '68 for road widening, this is Y House now holiday flats, and this Tudor House was considered unfit for human consumption and so demolished and replaced by public conveniences. I was happily considering taking my grandchildren, now they are of age to almost understand, to see the places where Granfer lived, went to school, played football/cricket or whatever. Don't think I will now. Firstly because I don't want to see what they've done to the place, secondly because I don't want to hear the nippers say "With all these buildings it looks just the same as Majorca - without the sun". This does not only apply to Weymouth of course, but the whole of Dorset (let the others look after themselves!). If you want a concrete hotel barrier between the towns and the beaches, stretching from Bournemouth to Lyme Regis, a sort of Costa Dorseta, that's your choice. Even the country villages are selling themselves off to the highest bidders - forbidding bellringing and various other aggressive activities. Wasn't there a thread a few months ago about Dorset being a nice place to live? It certainly WAS. OK, it's time for my pills and zen meditation. Geoff

Hi Geoff Awgh come on, there is very little change in most of rural Dorset, tis only place like Weymouth that have had big changes. Go out to places like Little or Long Bredy, Swyre, Netherbury, Beaminster and the like and they are still much as they were in Granfers day. We all have to accept changes in the way live, unfortunately. I know they call it progress but it aint always.

I have changed my email address to: helen@melcombe.freeserve.co.uk as I am getting far too much spam with the old address - to the extent that I cannot look at my emails when my daughters are around because most of it is so pornographic. I can't use a spam filter/,ail washer as these are not compatible with some aspects of list admin. Studies show that most spam comes from email addresses on static web pages, rather than email addresses shown on mailing lists. I have tried to get my address removed from all pages where I can find it but some webmasters ignore my requests. If you have your own or any one else's address on a web page, remove it or write it as helen at melcombe.freeserve.co.uk (or whatever the address in question is) or in some other format so that there is no clickable link that can be spidered. I know Alan has taken action on the Somerset and Dorset Family History Society web pages to deal with the problem already. Anything to my old address will be filtered into a separate folder and cleared out once a week. Thanks for your cooperation Helen Helen Jones, Weymouth, Dorset helen@melcombe.freeserve.co.uk http://www.melcombe.freeserve.co.uk

Those of you researching Weymouth ancestry or local history have probably come across Maureen Attwooll, former Weymouth Librarian, local history expert and author of many local books. If so you may be interested to know that Maureen has just published a new book, co-authored with another local and military historian, Colin Pomeroy. It is called Weymouth Century and it compares 70 old photos of Weymouth and district with photographs taken over the last year. Some places have changed out of all recognition and others are comfortingly similar. The local paper has done a spread on it this weekend and the book is available in Weymouth - so I can recommend it personally. The book is published by Halsgrove and although I am not on line to check the URL as I write this, they do have a website - try a search on Halsgrove+Dorset and you should find it. I would think they would have credit card ordering facilities. I will try and find out and get back to you on this. Those of you who are local to Dorset may be interested to know that Maureen and Colin will be signing copies of the book in W.H.Smiths, Weymouth between 11am-1pm on Saturday October 4th. I have no personal connections with either of the authors. Helen Helen Jones, Weymouth, Dorset helen@melcombe.freeserve.co.uk http://www.melcombe.freeserve.co.uk

I am not sure what order my messages are going to come through in, but you will see I include two messages of book reviews. If you have seen a Dorset book/CD/Video etc that you think other listers will enjoy, please post to the list about it. There are two rules: First you cannot, must not, publicise your own book, cd, video or whatever as this is classed as persoanl advertising and is banned. If you have published something yourself and would like a mention made, please come to me in the first instance with full details, include links to website about the book or an email address that people can use for enquiries. I will then post a message to the list telling subscribers that the book is available and giving contact details for further information. I will, however, stress in my message that I have not seen the book and so cannot make any sort of personal recommendation and that it is up to the reader to make further enquiries. This brings me to point two: If you post a review please say whether or not you have read the book or looked at the CD yourself. If you have not done so then you must make this very clear as people may decide whether or not to buy the book on these grounds. You must also put in writing that you have no personal connection with the book or author. If you have, then state what this is, even if very distant. See my Swaffield book message for an example of this. I hope this will clarify the issue and avoid any potential misunderstandings!

Hello, Listers, There are a number of e-mails doing the rounds at the moment which claim to be critical security updates from Microsoft. These undoubtedly contain viruses so don't open them, just delete immediately. Reputable companies do not send out updates in this way, you have to visit their Web Sites.

On vacation for two weeks

Good morning, everyone. I have received a picture from a fellow researcher in Canada, which shows her grandfather standing in front of a tram in Bournemouth in about 1904 - he is the conductor. Is there anyone out there who has the knowledge and enthusiasm to give me information about the tramways of that time and also possibly identify the location if I copy the picture and send it to them by snail mail? Please reply off-list! TIA, Iain, in Brampton, Cumbria.

It may be helpful to tell you of Affiliated Societies and Libraries who, in 1937 at least, received copies of the Proceedings from The Dorset Society and hopefully would have them available. New York Public Library. Cornell University Library. Harvard College Library. Yale University Library. Public Library Melbourne. University of Minnesota. American Museum of Natural History New York. Central Public Library Lansdowne Bournemouth University of London Library Central Library Bristol. There were also many Societies and Institutions described as 'In Correspondence with the Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society,' but I am not clear if all of these also received copies of the annual Proceedings. Finally here is an interesting entry showing a connection between Dorset and slavery. Deed No 4237 Dated 1780 August 17 Ralph Willett of Merly Place esq. of the one part and William Feuilleteau of Brompton Grove [ Middlesex ? ] esq. and John Stanley esq. H M Solicitor General to the Leeward Islands of the other, lease for a year of the Red Gate plantation in the parish of St Paul Capisterre in the Island of St Christopher of 370 acres ( bounds given ) and 280 slaves.
