About Fencing in Bournemouth
Bournemouth in Dorset was founded in 1810, when Lewis Tregonwell visited the area with his wife, who loved the spot so much she persuaded him to buy around eight and a half acres of heathland and build a house there, along with cottages for his staff. Before Tregonwell's arrival the site had been little more than open heath where cattle grazed, but the town's fortunes changed dramatically in 1841, when the physician Dr Augustus Granville praised Bournemouth in his book The Spas of England as an ideal destination for those suffering from chest complaints, drawing a wave of health seeking visitors. The railway reached the town in 1870, making travel far easier and fuelling explosive growth through the Victorian era, with the population climbing from 16,859 in 1881 to 37,000 just a decade later, and Bournemouth has continued to grow into one of the south coast's largest resort towns ever since.
