Imagine a time when horse buses trundled up and down St Mary Street in Weymouth and when The Pavilion was an ornate, beautifully detailed theatre.

Andy, a Weymouth resident and former councillor, adored learning about the history of the area and nothing gave him greater pleasure than coming across a rare postcard of Dorset.
Scroll down and see for yourself some of these idyllic post card scenes, including a look back at West Bay as it was, Weymouth Town Bridge, and a very different looking Overcombe Corner at Preston.
