I took this photograph of Weymouth Harbour to capture the timeless charm of a bustling Dorset seaside scene, where fishing boats and pleasure craft share the same waters against a backdrop of classic harbour activity. During the 1960s, Weymouth was at the heart of Britain’s booming domestic holiday culture — families flocked to its wide sandy beach and lively harbour front, enjoying deckchairs, ice‑cream stalls, promenade walks, and waterside cafés as cheap rail travel and paid annual holidays made seaside breaks a cherished summer ritual. Post‑war prosperity and improved leisure time helped establish Weymouth as one of the country’s most popular resorts, where harbour life became intertwined with tourism and seaside leisure alongside its working maritime heritage. Today that same harbour continues to draw visitors who love both its nautical atmosphere and its rich holiday history.
