Celebrate all things retro on the Quay as Poole goes Vintage returns to town this summer! This celebration of 1940s-60s music, fashion, memorabilia, entertainment and transport is a feel-good festival the whole family will enjoy.
First outing with the new compact, not ideal weather- very windy. When I took the pictures off the camera, realised I had the picture size on small size....slowly working my way through the manual...think it will be keeping me busy for the whole of next year!

Poole harbour is the 2nd largest natural harbour in the world, ( I believe Sydney is the largest natural harbour).
Poole is a tourist resort, attracting visitors with its large natural harbour, history, the Lighthouse arts centre and Blue Flag beaches. The town has a busy commercial port with cross-Channel freight and passenger ferry services.
Poole House is situated at the foot of a small lane leading from Dillicar and from the Lowgill Viaduct.
On the opposite side of the lane, and out of frame, is an equally old Water Mill. The Miller and Malster lived here in the cottage, and records relating to the Water Mill go back many centuries.
By the lane is a small beck, which powered the Mill.
The lane leads to the old Crook o' Lune bridge and the River Lune.
Poole House is in Dillicar, Parish of Grayrigg and the Mill, known as Davy Bank Mill, is in the Parish of Firbank with the lane forming the boundary between the two parishes.
The Portsmouth Hoy
The Portsmouth Hoy is a traditional old world pub hosting a timeless and restful quality to the prevailing mood found in this popular pub. The decor is predominantly dark wood constructed in a style reminiscent of an old sailing ship. Many artefacts relating to the nautical and aquatic life can be seen placed around the walls.
Definition of Hoy.
1. (Nautical Terms) a freight barge
2. (Nautical Terms) a coastal fishing and trading vessel, usually sloop-rigged, used during the 17th and 18th centuries

Set in the beautiful county of Dorset. Poole harbour is home to Brownsea island and a number of smaller islands. This capture was taken last night during sunset and low tide.
There are few groups who deservedly excite admiration for their courage, their devotion to duty and their unselfishness! The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is one such and this old image from the Poole collection enforces that admiration. Ordinary men, mostly seamen, who gave up their time and risked their lives that others in peril might be saved. This is surely an occasion when they received some well deserved recognition.
This is listed in the catalogue as "Fethard Lifeboat, group of lifeboat men". Based the community's contributions and the date of this image, it seems that those pictured were involved in the events of the Fethard Lifeboat Disaster. Given the loss of life involved in those events - including 9 lifeboat men - it is possible that perhaps not all those pictured are members of the Fethard Lifeboat crew themselves. As at least 5 Fethard men lost their lives, it is possible that at least some of those pictured represent lifeboat crews from Wexford and/or Kilmore. Handwritten reports from the NLI collection detail the events of that day, bringing the efforts of those pictured to stark life....

Plan A was to grab this somewhere on the Swanage railway however an accident on the A35 this afternoon put paid to that with the road expected to be closed beyond 6pm. Most locations around Poole are either head on at this time of day or too shadowed up so I opted for Holes Bay and I don't think this turned out too badly. 33012/D6515 'Lt Jenny Lewis RN' drags Bubble car W55028 back to the Swanage Railway after its major overhaul at Arlington Eastleigh Works, running as 5Z43.
Just a shame this location is nearly lost due to the growth of the lineside vegetation
