Latest posts in Weymouth - Page 2

I was wondering how many members have read the new thriller - "The Queen of Downtown" by Philip Holmes. I stumbled across it on Goodreads, and downloaded the e-book from Amazon after checking out several positive reviews, and was delighted to discover that the majority of the story is set in Weymouth. It's a very powerful story, but not without its fair share of sex and violence, so it's not for everybody. Saying that the town features prominently and it was great fun recognising the landmarks that are detailed. Nothe Gardens, the Old Harbour, Brewer's Quay, and several pubs and clubs all get a mention. The cover of the e-book features a view of Newton's Cove. On the "About the author" home page on Goodreads, Philip says that he is a regular visitor to the town with his family and when he started writing the story, he wanted to include his favourite resort.  The Dorset Echo ran a feature on the book a couple of months ago which I read online. It was just so nice to read a book that featured Weymouth, can't think of many, if any other books that are set in the town.

I lived in Weymouth until I was 4 years old and  have been visiting my family there ever since. We have family links going back 100 years. We are really keen to live in the area, we are cash buyers and are not part of a forward chain. Looking forward to hearing from someone who can help us with our quest.

Hi Everybody!   I'm a new girl.

I have been researching a friend's family history and have discovered an ancestor who, in 1842,  was the publican at a pub in Hope Square, Weymouth.  I don't know its name but I see that the only pub there now is the Red Lion.

Does anybody know if there were other pubs there at that time and/or does anybody know of lists of publicans in the area at about that time?

Any help would be very gratefully received.    Many thanks,   Marion.

Hello, I am an A-Level Geography student at Yeovil college. As part of my course, I have to do a coursework element. For this, I have chosen to do a survey on how Weymouth is perceived as a place (the demographics, the built environment, the socioeconomics). If you could help and answer my online form, I would be very appreciative. Thank You.
