Antique Ward Lock Red Guide to Swanage and South Dorset

£5

Publication 1920-21

Beautiful Hardback book with wonderful old advertisements and coloured maps.

A must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of topography and local interest.

This book has a visable mug ring on the cover

The cover is loose along the spine but could be restuck easily

All pages are still stitched in.

A small tear on the Weymouth map and foxing on the Swanage map.

Otherwise internally very clean.

Fabulous ads for The National Provident Inst. 'whether you earn £500 a year or £5000'

Eastern Foam - 'The Cream of Fascination"

and the delicate 'Are you Fat? Natures only remedy Thinzu Tablets Don't delay'

A lovely vintage item and an interesting read.

Grab a real piece of history.

Collection Camberwell SE5

- 4+ Assessment Advice for Parents
  
  By Lord Pencilton · Posted 7 hours ago
  
  It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton 🎩✏️
- GALA 2026

  Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed, which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
