Bournemouth has been a popular watering hole for the moderately rich since the nineteenth century. It is a kind of English elephants' graveyard where the blue-rinse ladies of right-wing persuasion go to die. Being a holiday town many of the views are of the 'mechanically produced' variety. These are NOT lithos - there is no dot pattern. They are of varying quality and are included where there is no comparable photographic view available.
