Wimborne - Gulliver House
This house in Wimborne is associated with the area's most notorious smuggler Isaac Gulliver (1745 - 1822). He became a very wealthy man through the smuggling trade that he operated along the Dorset coast, claiming in mitigation that no person had ever lost their life due to his activities. Taking advantage of a king's pardon, he retired to Wimborne in 1817, where he became respectable, even becoming a churchwarden of the Minster. When he died, he was buried in the Minster where his tomb bearing his name can be seen.

Defending Dorset in 1940: Wimborne Anti-tank Island (1)
-
Loopholed wall: DoB ID: e25267
Wimborne - West Borough - Loopholed Wall. The only surviving structure in Wimborne of the town's defences when it was designated an anti-tank island in 1940. This loopholed wall between two properties in West Borough was built to bring fire to bear on the approach road from the crossing of the River Allen to the north. The house directly opposite (the Old Saddlery) on the other side of the road was also requisitioned at the time, and handed over to the Home Guard to be used as a defended house. The second floor with its tiny north-facing window overlooking the street, may have served as a discreet observation post.
