These wonderful old images show Dorset in its heyday of steam engines.

There's also the treat of a lovely horse bus in an almost unrecognisable St Mary Street to enjoy.

These pictures come to us courtesy of the Andy Hutchings Collection. Andy was a nostalgia buff and former councillor who had encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of Weymouth and Portland.

See 11 pictures of old Portland looking magical here.

We hope you enjoy looking at these pictures as much as we have.
