FORMER DAIRYMAN'S COTTAGE / THE SHACK. 228 BROADWAY LANE. BOURNEMOUTH. DORSET. 1944

This watercolour was painted in 1944 by Kathleen M Chilver, author of 'Holdenhurst Mother of Bournemouth'. Although known as The Shack today, in her book it is described as the former Dairyman's Cottage.

 

This grade II listed thatched cottage is said to have been built in the late 1600s.

Although no doubt it has been altered over the years, just as you might expect any building to be, it still looks the part, and is one of only a few old thatched properties still standing in Bournemouth in 2013.
