St Thomas Street, Weymouth

This picture of Weymouth town centre taken from outside the Crown Hotel is from a time when summer traffic in Weymouth was particularly bad - before a one way system on the street was invented.

St Thomas Street was the route for buses back to Wyke. 

The number 24 double decker bus, is pictured. There's an advert on it for South Dorset Cleaners.

The bus destination blind says 'Wyke Regis via Wyke Road' - the lower blind just gives the route meaning that it stops at the fire station.

Cars are waiting to exit both upper and lower St Edmund Street.

Among the many queuing cars is a Jaguar. We can also see a parked up bicycle left in perfect safety and what looks like a taxi emerging onto the street. 

The Crown Hotel, a historic former coaching inn, is still popular today.  In the 19th century it was a meeting place of merchants and ship's masters to trade their business. Being quite large and close to the harbour, it was ideally situated as a trading post.

The traffic situation in St Thomas Street did eventually improve, local historian Stuart Morris tells us.

"The town centre pedestrianisation schemes of the late 1980s-1990s transformed the area.

"That was only possible once Weymouth Way relief road had been built," he said.

Reader David Neal remembers battling traffic in Weymouth during those years! At the time he was driving taxis for his dad.
