About this book
Bournemouth, Poole & Christchurch is described by Sidney Heath and painted by Ernest Haslehust, with illustrations listed such as Bournemouth Pier and Sands from Eastcliff and Christchurch Priory from Wick Ferry. The text says Branksome Chine was formerly the landing-place of the famous smuggler Gulliver, who amassed a fortune. The text adds that Gulliver is said to have employed fifty men, who wore a livery, powdered hair, and smock frocks.
The text describes a town situated on a peninsula on the north side of Poole Harbour, where at one time many smugglers made their home. The text records that in 1885 the late Lord Wimborne presented the Corporation with some forty acres of land to be converted into a Public Park.
