Bournemouth trolleybus 274 at Pokesdown Station â 1969
There were two trolleybus routes between Bournemouth and Christchurch, via Iford (20) or Southbourne (21), which split at this point.
Bournemouth Corporation 274 is a Sunbeam MF2B with Weymann bodywork, new in 1959. This was the last day of normal trolleybus operation in Bournemouth, so at only 10 years old it was far from life-expired.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Link
Bournemouth Corporation trolleybus 271 on Beresford Road â 1969
On service 23 from Tuckton Bridge via Cranleigh Road, taken on the last day of normal trolleybus operation in Bournemouth.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Link

However, during the peak summer holiday months of July and August, cycling is prohibited on this section of route between 10:00 and 18:00. Cyclists must use an alternative route on the cliff top.
Path to the beach, East Cliff, Bournemouth
Toft Zig-Zag is a path leading from the overcliff to the beach at East Cliff, between Bournemouth and Boscombe. From the top of the path there are views along the coastline to Boscombe Pier (in the middle distance) and Hengistbury Head, and also to the chalk cliffs of The Needles on the Isle of Wight (towards the right of the image)
Christchurch Road, Lansdowne â 1969
At the time this was still the main A35, running through the centre of the town. In the background is the entrance to the Odeon cinema, nestling between the apartment blocks on either side. The cinema is showing the film 'Candy', and the sign features Marlon Brando, Richard Burton and John Coburn as stars. The female lead, the relatively unknown Ewa Aulin, playing Candy, gets no mention! Link
. Like many cinemas it became a Bingo hall in the 1970s, finally closing in 2021 due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
In the foreground Wilts & Dorset bus 823 is on its way into Bournemouth on route 38 from Salisbury. It is a Bristol RE with ECW bodywork, new that same year.
