The opening occasion was attended by Her Worshipful the Mayor of Poole, Councillor Mrs. Carol Evans, The Rt Hon. Robert Syms, MP and over one hundred guests.
By: Berkeleys “Looking back through the history of this beautiful area, we realised that the heritage assets that drew home buyers to Canford Cliffs a century ago, hold very much the same allure today,” says Berkeleys Director, Adrian Black. “The chines, the pines, the gardens, the coastal landscape and the outstanding architecture – in particular 1930s Modernist and Art Deco buildings - all contribute to what makes this area so attractive and enduring.” Berkeleys has teamed up with local historian Iris Morris and the Andrew Hawkes Poole Photographic Archive to provide these valuable insights into the local area. Iris Morris has published books on the history of Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks. Andrew Hawkes has amassed an exceptional archive of photography of old Poole and regularly publishes local area titles. Additional insights have been given by the Canford Cliffs Land Society, local Residents Associations and local residents. “The Berkeleys team has a fantastic knowledge of the local area and looking through our own archives, we have been able to trace many of today’s well-known residential buildings back to their original plots and architecture.” The presentation of Berkeleys heritage exhibition is particularly poignant as it opens at a time when Poole Council seeks to develop a 25 year strategic plan for the future of the beaches considering leisure facilities and existing assets. The council has asked for ideas to increase income and private investment whilst conserving the natural beauty of the cliffs and seashore. The exhibition, located at 1-3 Haven Road, Canford Cliffs, Poole, Dorset, UK, is open to the public and will run until mid-July, 2012. End
