domain for itInterviews On our walking tour there are clips from the interviews which each student has done. The interviews have been clipped and the names of the interviewees have been kept anonymous - the full versions will be deposited to the Dorchester Archives. The cuttings are used throughout the tour at certain points to share knowledge from residents of the area but also to break up the information from just text which might bore some users. We have interviewed many residents from the area and some people from outside the ward who have seen the area develop around them. We have also interviewed Councillor Mark Anderson.
PocketSights You can For the Neighbourhood Area walking tour, we access to chose to use PocketSights. This is a platform walking tour on that allows the user to both walk the tour and their webpage view the tour from the comfort of their home. but also from downloading it from the app store on your phone for easier use. This website also allows you to edit the walking tour at anytime.
PocketSights - Virtual Tour The virtual tour aspect of our walking tour is an automatic ‘tour guide’ that takes you along the route. This allows you to do the complete tour, without being anywhere near Charminster or Queen’s Park. This is great for people that want to learn about the heritage, who might know little or nothing about the area, or even where it is.

This app has allowed us to set out the most efficient route possible for the tour, as well as being able to use it in browser and app form. On top of this, our leaflet also advertises the walking tour, which will be available to those who do not have access to a smartphone, tablet or the internet. We understand that some people may not be able to walk all around the area for the tour, so therefore we feel the ‘free roam’ version of the tour gives those the freedom to view their most appealing points of interest.

St. Andrew’s Church is one of three churches along
the walking tour. Standing since 1891, St Andrew’s
is an informal Anglican church in the Charminster
area of Bournemouth. Housing and entertaining
those from knights to revellers, it provides a great
point of history and heritage on the tour.
The Brunswick Pub is a central figure of Charminster, and
has housed many different features.
For example, legendary local boxer Freddie Mills once ran
a gym in the Brunswick.
The pub was also subject to an air raid in the Second World
War, which destroyed most of the pub seen above.We’d Like To Hear From You… What matters to you? What heritage points would you like to see on the walking tour? Do you have any stories of the area? Would you be interested in using the walking tour? Are there any ways in which you believe we could improve?
