Local history, this is the fourth book in The 'Looking Back' series following 'Ashley Cross' 'Lilliput' and 'Canford Cliffs'. Once a wild and desolate place with high sand dunes, gorse and windswept pines, the Sandbanks peninsula forms the entrance to Poole Harbour.
Smugglers, wildfowlers and Coastguard Officers gradually gave way to boat builders, ferrymen, ramshackle beach huts and the occasional dwelling before luxurious residences and apartment blocks changed the skyline.
The sandy beaches remain but the feeling of freedom and sensation of space amid the sand dunes has gone forever.
