Harry Green old photos of Weymouth includes cliff erosion

He was a much loved lensman who would always go the extra mile to get the best shot. 

As you can see, Harry captured a wide range of goings on in Weymouth and elsewhere in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

From horses exercising on Weymouth beach to dramatic cliff erosion at Overcombe, Harry was always able to perfectly capture life in Dorset through his lens.

Scroll down to see this, the latest in our series of Harry Green photos.

Cliff erosion at Overcombe

Dorchester Road, Upwey

This photo shows the Royal Oak pub on the right hand corner. We think it was taken in the 1960s.

Funnily enough the junction of Elwell Street and Dorchester Road was also known as The Royal Oak because of the pub. This popular pub had an Assembly Room at the back, used for dinner and dances. Conveniently there was a water trough fed by a spring at the side where steam engines filled up with water before the climb up Ridgeway and horses were able to enjoy a drink whilst their master had a pint in the pub.

The Royal Oak closed in 1965 and was bought by the council to be demolished for road improvements which were completed in 1970.

Before the improvements the main road turned sharp right beyond a telegraph pole.

After the improvements drivers unfamiliar with the road were known to take an inadvertent detour to Weymouth via Elwell Street after failing to follow the main road!

One reader remembers the Dorchester Road area well at this time. 

They write: "The Southern National Bus number 22 was a regular service from Austins on the Esplanade to either The Wishing Well or The Royal Oak.

"I used to walk past the Royal Oak (opposite was a Guest House with a glass built conservatory, where later the bus turning point was built) on a week end with my Mum and our Dogs to go up the Old Woman Road for a walk along the Ridgeway to Hardys Monument with the dogs.

"Father would collect us from the Portesham end in the Morris Oxford Shooting Break (Estate car of the time) and take us back to Upwey and home a few hours after we left.

"Lovely walks along the ridge rewarded by wonderful views of Portland, the Fleet and the Chesil. That would be 1960."

Prince Philip looks over a Centurian tank at Bovington army camp

Here the late Duke of Edinburgh is pictured on a visit to a Bovington army camp inspecting a chieftain tank.

It has been suggested that the visit took place on March 20 1969. The tank and soldiers all look very smart for the Royal visit.

Bovington is a familiar location for the Royal family. Aged 22, Prince Harry completed six-months of training in armoured warfare at Bovington Camp.
