Tailer's Family - journeying!
Project: Dorset - Poole
Poole.
Further down Thames Street we reach the Mansion House Hotel, one of several buildings within th old town which illustrate Poole's 'Golden Age'. The house was built in th late 1770's for Isaac and Benjamin Lester, heads of an important merchant family that raded with Newfoundland. The dining room fireplace is decorated with marble fillets of cod as a proud reminder of the source of the family's fortunes. Today the Mansion House is a dining club and Hotel.
