Memories of growing up in Weymouth and Portland

It is a group where you can share memories of the area.

But we want it to be a place for you to discuss what you loved most about the area. And somewhere for people to see how the borough has changed, if they’ve just moved here.

We asked our members to finish a sentence for us when the group launched: You know you grew up in Weymouth and Portland when you remember...

And take a look at the results!
