Poole Old Town :
Poole is a town rich in history. The beautiful Old Town was part of the medieval town and some buildings still survive. The overall style is Georgian and stems from re-development in the 18th Century when the area accommodated the prosperous middle class of Poole, such as sea captains and well-to-do tradesmen. Their brick built houses have fine proportions with a wealth of authentic architectural details such as fanlights and boot scrapers.
