Weymouth Harbour, August 1929

A GWR publicity imaging showing a view across Weymouth Harbour to the Pavilion. The Pavilion opened in 1908 but was rebuilt in the late 1950s after a fire. Just in front of the pavilion, in this view, was the Weymouth Quay railway station. It served the many boats coming in and out of the harbour.
