Here are the details of maps for Bournemouth & Boscombe in our Hampshire series:
In 1851 Bournmouth had a population of just 695 but over the next few decades it rose to become one of England's greatest seaside resorts, and by 1911, with a population of 78,764, it was second only to Brighton. It became a Municipal Borough in 1890, and a County Borough in 1900. In 1974 it was transferred from Hampshire to Dorset, as a district council. In 1997 it became a unitary authority. We have published a group of 3 maps for the town and these link up with each other.
The North Bournmouth map covers the northern part of the town, with coverage stretching from Braidley Road eastward to Knole Road and St Clements church, and from Iddesleigh Road and the cemetery southward to Christchurch Road and Old Christchurch Road.
