Tailer's Family - journeying!
Project: Dorset - Poole
Poole.
The two houses in the middle of this row are Numbers 6 and 8, Byngley House and Mary Tudor Cottage are older than most of the street. Thomas Byngley, a merchant and mayor of Poole, buit them as a single dwelling in 1567.
We now enter The Old Town - this area was part of the mediaeval town and some buildings still survive. The overall style is Georgian and stems from re-development in the 18th century when the area accommodated the prosperous middle-class of Poole - such as sea captains and well-to-do tradesmen. Their brick built houses have fine proportions with a wealth of authentic architectural details such as fanlights and bootscrapers.
Passing the bollards we now enter Market Street (behind the photographer - me here!)which stretches up to the Georgian Guildhall or Market House. Poole markets were established by royal charter in the 15th century and have been recently revived.
