Hengist Caravan Site, near Christchurch, Hampshire
Following World War Two, when it again became possible to take a holiday on the South Coast, an inexpensive way to do so was to hire a caravan on one of the numerous sites which were springing up in many places. This one was Hengist Site, operated by a character of dubious provenance known as 'Captain' Smith.
The vans were far from comfortable, but it was convenient for walks along Hengistbury Head and into Christchurch.

Wick Green
The old village of Wick, now a slightly remote suburb of Bournemouth, still retains several attractive rural touches, such as the green here. Other parts of the village have been marred by inappropriate planning permission.

Wick: Broadwaters
An elderly people's rehabilitation centre at 55 Wick Lane. Here, those being discharged from hospital will be prepared for a return to independent living at home – it is more a short-stay than a residential establishment.
