Founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, Bournemouth was originally a deserted heathl&, home to fishermen & smugglers.
Initially marketed as a health resort, Bournemouths growth really accelerated with the arrival of the railway & it became a town in 1870. The arrival of the railways precipitated a massive growth in seaside & summer visitors to the town, especially from the Midlands & London.
In 1880, the town had a population of 17, 000 but, by 1900, when railway connections to Bournemouth were at their most developed, the town s population had risen to 60, 000 & it had become a favourite location for visiting artists & writers.
Today, Bournemouth has a population of almost 190, 000 people, & is a tourist centre of leisure, entertainment, culture & recreation.
It has come a long way from its roots in the nineteenth century. Those roots, the formative years of the town, are the focus of Bournemouth: The Biography, which charts the evolution of Bournemouth from a smuggler s haven to the coastal resort we know today.
