Weymouth In Old Postcards and Photographs

Bathing machines - early 1900s

This is a wonderful picture of the Bathing Machines taken sometime in the early 1900s.

Unfortunately the scan does not do justice to the detail visible in the original.

Such a pity that only one of these machines was to survive.

There would appear to be a Yacht Race in progress further out in the Bay. Will it look as spectacular in 2012?

This picture taken at low water demonstrates why Weymouth became so popular as a safe bathing beach for children.
