A blue plaque is affixed to the end wall of the former pumping station at the Old Waterworks site at Tuckton to commemorate the establishment of a printing press here by a group of Russian emigrés led by Count Vladimir Tchertkov. On this site in 1900-13 the later works of Tolstoy were first printed. The building was converted into a private dwelling in 1988, and the smaller plaque records the conversion award from Bournemouth Borough Council in that year. Image Image
