Bournemouth: Diamond Jubilee Plaque (5)

The fifth in a series of fifteen plaques unveiled to mark the Queen's diamond jubilee in 2012, following the history of Bournemouth through the ages using monarchs' reigns and jubilees as the steps in time. This fifth one relates to the reign of William IV (i.e. 1830-1837). The town is starting to develop but the stagecoach will still not pass through Bournemouth by the end of William IV's reign. The only crossing of the Bourne Stream for pedestrians is by a wooden plank situated where SZ0891 : Bournemouth: The Square is now. See SZ0890 : Bournemouth: Diamond Jubilee Plaques for the introductory plaque, and SZ0890 : Bournemouth: five of the Diamond Jubilee Plaques for an overall view of five of the plaques, providing some context. See SZ0890 : Bournemouth: Diamond Jubilee Plaque (4) for the previous plaque in the series, and SZ0890 : Bournemouth: Diamond Jubilee Plaque (6) for the next one.
