The Story of Water in Swanage
A talk by David J. Hawkings

David reveals how water transformed Swanage from a simple quarrying community into a premier coastal resort. It’s a fascinating tale of Victorian ambition, where the sons of quarrymen fought to bring modern sanitation and grand architecture to the town to lure well-heeled Londoners to the Dorset coast.
