At present, this section concentrates on the history of the Portland and Weymouth area, which is rich and varied. We are grateful to our contributors for helping us to create such a fascinating resource which covers local industry, maritime defences and World War 2 activity in some detail.

We would like to expand our history section to include other regions along this remarkable stretch of England's coast and would be interested to hear from historians, archivists, researchers or writers who can assist. Please drop us a line if you can help or can contribute with information, written accounts, photographs or other historical evidence.
