Описание: This is an animation of a unique photograph of the Dorset town of Poole taken in 1963. It was shot from the top of a harbourside grain silo (where the Asda tower now stands) just prior to much of the old town's destruction to make way for new development. The scene today is almost completely unrecognisable, now being replaced by the usual suspects. The loss of the old town also meant the loss of its ancient soul, and the fragmentation of the Poole families who had lived and worked there for centuries. Poole was sadly one of the many victim townships to fall foul of the post war mania to quickly usher in the new. Today, such an important architectural heritage would be saved and restored for the nation and the benefit of future generations. Fortunately, much of the area around the main quay survived the wrecking crew, and serves as a fine example of the architectural beauty that Poole once enjoyed on a much larger scale.
