Old picture of a ghost in a tuxedo in quiet Weymouth street

It might look like an ordinary street scene - a tree-lined residential road of beautiful townhouses, but there's something more sinister to it.

To the left of this image of Westbourne Road, just off Dorchester Road in Weymouth, hidden in the trees, is a man in a tuxedo.

How he got there and who he is, no-one knows.

But reader Sue Hogben remembers Westbourne Road from her childhood when it was an unmade road - and a house she believed to be haunted.

She said: "This was my childhood playground - building dens, climbing trees, the weird towered house on the corner that we swore was haunted. The hours spent there were magical childhood days."

Some have wondered whether the ghostly man in evening wear might have been something to do with Weymouth's Cavalry Barracks which were built in 1798 with additions in 1800 and 1804.

Westbourne Road marks the southern boundary of the Cavalry barracks, with Alexandra Road marking the western and northern boundaries and Dorchester Road on the western side.

We also know there used to be a nursery in Westbourne Road between the two houses which was run by a man believed to be called Tommie Cornick.

Below, you can see the street and the same view as it looks today.
