The Richmond/Richmond Arms

The Richmond Arms (c.1893) is a nineteenth-century building that was originally a smaller building compared to its current strucutre. In 1911, after the coronation of King George V, the Richmond doubled in size, as seen in the black and white photograph (1926).

The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang actor, Lionel Jeffries, (1926-2010), lived in Bournemouth and once visited the Richmond Arms with the famed actor and entertainer, Bob Hope.
