Although fishing and trading are less significant employment sectors in the area since their peak in earlier centuries, tourism has had a strong presence in the town since the 18th century. Weymouth continues to be a popular tourist resort, and the town's successful economy depends on its harbour and the beaches of Weymouth Bay. Weymouth is a gateway town situated approximately half-way along the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site on the Dorset and east Devon coast, important for its geology and landforms.

History

Weymouth Bay, by John Constable

Weymouth originated as a settlement on a constricted site to the south and west of Weymouth Harbour, an outlying part of the village of Wyke Regis. A settlement here is not noted until the 13th century, the likelihood being that the town developed from the mid 12th century onwards. By 1252 it was sufficiently established as a seaport to become a chartered borough.^[3] Melcombe Regis developed quite separately on the peninsula of land to the north of the harbour, being mentioned as a licensed 'wool port' in 1310.^[3] Image File history File links Download high resolution version (2560x1810, 435 KB) Description: Title: de: Weymouth Bay Technique: de: Öl auf Leinwand Dimensions: de: 53 × 75 cm Country of origin: de: Großbritanien Current location (city): de: London Current location (gallery): de: National Gallery Other notes: de: Landschaftsmalerei Source: The...

Melcombe Regis is thought to be the first port at which the Black Death came into England, aboard a visiting spice ship in June 1348.^[3] In their early history Weymouth and Melcombe Regis were rivals for trade and industry, but the towns were united in an Act of Parliament in 1571 to form the double borough of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis.^[4] Since then both towns have become known simply as Weymouth, despite Melcombe Regis being the part of town in which the main beach and tourist attractions are. The outlying villages of Upwey, Broadwey, Preston, Wyke Regis, Chickerell, Southill, Radipole and Littlemoor are now encompassed by the town.

During the English Civil War (1642–51) more than 500 people were killed in the Battle of Weymouth on February 27 1645.^[3] In 1635, on board the ship Charity, around 100 emigrants from the town crossed the Atlantic Ocean and settled in Weymouth, Massachusetts.^[5] More townspeople emigrated to the Americas to bolster the population of Weymouth, Nova Scotia. The first settlers of Salem, Massachusetts (then called Naumking), later infamous for its "Witch Trials", came from Weymouth, Dorset.^[6] There is now a monument to that effect on the side of Weymouth Harbour.

The notable architect Sir Christopher Wren was the Member of Parliament for Weymouth for 1702, and also held control of nearby Portland's quarries from 1675 to 1717. Interestingly, when he designed St Paul's Cathedral, Wren had it built out of Portland Stone, the famous stone originating from Portland's quarries.^[7] Sir James Thornhill was born in the 'White Hart' public house in Weymouth and in 1722 became MP for Melcombe Regis. In later life he became a famous artist, and coincidentally, decorated the interior of St Paul's Cathedral.^[8] Sir Christopher Wren, (20 October 1632–25 February 1723) was a 17th century English designer, astronomer, geometrician, and the greatest English architect of his time. ...

The resort is amongst the first modern tourist destinations, after King George III made Weymouth his summer holiday residence on fourteen occasions between 1789 and 1805.^[9] A painted statue of the King still stands on the seafront, and a mounted white horse representing King George is carved into the chalk hills of Osmington to the east of the town. A myth developed that, because the horse faces away from the town, the King took offence, believing it was a sign that the townspeople did not welcome him, and that the designer subsequently killed himself.^[10] Weymouth Promenade, 1993. ...

The seafront of Weymouth's Esplanade is composed almost entirely of Georgian terraces, which have been converted into apartments, shops, hotels and guest houses. The buildings were constructed in the Georgian and Regency periods between 1770 and 1855, designed by prominent architects such as James Hamilton, and were mostly commissioned by wealthy businessmen, many of whom had already been involved in the growth of the city of Bath.^[11] Almost all of these terraces still survive, and form a long, continuous arc of buildings which face Weymouth Bay, along most of the length of the Esplanade. The Esplanade also features the colourful Jubilee Clock, erected in 1887 to mark the 50th year of Queen Victoria's reign.^[12] Statues of Victoria, King George III and Sir Henry Edwards, Member of Parliament for the borough from 1867 to 1885, and two war memorials also feature along the length of the Esplanade.^[13] St Clair Beach and esplanade, Dunedin, New Zealand Promenade at Rizal Boulevard in Dumaguete City, Philippines. ...

U.S. soldiers march through Weymouth to board landing ships for the 1944 invasion of France.

In the centre of the town lies Weymouth Harbour, and although it was the reason for the town's foundation, the harbour effectively separates the two areas of Melcombe Regis (the main town centre) and Weymouth (the southern harbourside) from each other. Since the 18th century this barrier has been overcome with the construction of successive bridges over the narrowest portion of the harbour. The present Town bridge, built in 1930, is a lifting bascule bridge to let boats access the Inner Harbour, one of less than ten in the United Kingdom.^[14] Photo #: USA C-727 (Color) Normandy Invasion Preparations, 1944 U.S. Soldiers march through a southern English coastal town, en route to board landing ships for the invasion of France, circa late May or early June 1944. ...

Dorset South was the most marginal seat in the 2001 elections, being only won by 153 votes.^[19] At the 2001 general election, Jim Knight was elected the member of Parliament for Dorset South, which was the only constituency in which Labour gained votes from the Conservative party in that year. This may have been due to a high-profile anti-Conservative tactical voting campaign which was conducted in Dorset by musician Billy Bragg. While Jim Knight was expecting to have a difficult 2005 election, he won with a margin of 1,812 votes. This was in contrast to many other areas, where Labour suffered a noticeable decline in the popular vote.^[20] Local elections took place in some parts of the UK on the 7th June, 2001. ...

Geology, geography and ecology

Weymouth lies on weak Middle Oolite clay

Weymouth is situated on weak sand and clay rock which in most places along the Dorset coast, except for narrow bands at Lulworth Cove, Swanage and Durdle Door, has been eroded and transported away.^[23] This weak rock has been protected at Weymouth by Chesil Beach and the strong limestone Isle of Portland that lies 2 miles (3 km) offshore to the south. The Isle of Portland also affects the tides of the area, producing an unusual double low tide in Weymouth bay and Portland Harbour.^[24][25] Image File history File links Dorset_geology. ...

Weymouth is the largest town in the area, larger than the county town of Dorchester, which lies just to the north, and hence is a centre of activity for many of the nearby population. A steep ridge of chalk called the South Dorset Downs, separates Dorchester and Weymouth. The countryside surrounding Weymouth, which lies on the Downs, is less agricultural than the valleys in the centre and north of Dorset, but has some dairy and arable farms. This area contains numerous small villages, including Wyke Regis, Chickerell, and Osmington Mills. Many of the nearest villages have become the outskirts of the main town.

The weak sand and clay on which Weymouth is built is very low lying—large areas are below sea level, which allowed the eastern areas of the town to become flooded on several occasions by the sea during extreme low pressure storms.^[28] In the 1980s and 1990s a high sea wall was constructed around Weymouth harbour and along the beach road in Preston, while a rip rap groyne in Greenhill and beach nourishment up to Preston have created a wide and artificially graded pebble beach, to ensure that the low lying land around Lodmoor is protected from flooding.^[29] The defences at Preston, the extended ferry terminal and the widening of the Esplanade have changed the sediment regime in Weymouth Bay, to produce a narrowing beach at Greenhill and a widening sandy beach in Weymouth. A study conducted as part of the redevelopment of the Pavilion complex has shown that the proposed marina will contribute slightly to this effect, but sand dredged out of the marina could be used to make the beach up to 40 metres (130 ft) wider.^[30] A seawall is a form of hard coastal defense that are constructed on the inland part of a coast to reduce the effects of strong waves, typically to defend the coast around a town or harbour from erosion. ...

The low lying nature of the area, and the ameliorating effect of the lakes and mild seas that surround the town, act to keep night-time temperatures above freezing, making winter frost rare: on average eight times a year.^[39] This is far below the United Kingdom's average annual total of 55.6 days of frost.^[38] Days with snow lying are equally rare: on average zero to six days a year.^[40] Almost all winters have one day or less with snow lying; it may snow or sleet a couple of times in a winter, yet it almost never settles on the ground—low lying and coastal areas in the south west such as Weymouth experience the mildest winters in the UK.^[41] The growing season in Weymouth lasts from nine to twelve months a year,^[42] and the borough is in Hardiness zone 9.^[43][44] Sleet is a term used in a variety of ways to describe precipitation intermediate between rain and snow but distinct from hail. ...

Weymouth harbour is long and narrow, and formed the estuary of the River Wey, until the building of a bridge which separated the harbour's backwaters from Radipole Lake. The harbour was historically home to a large fishing fleet, and for many centuries was an important passenger, trade and cargo port. Goods handled in the harbour included wool and spices, and in the 20th century Weymouth was a bulk importer of fertiliser.^[3] The old harbourside, which is near the seaward end of the harbour, still hosts a large fishing fleet, with docks and unloading areas, and a ferry terminal. Although fishing and trading are less significant employment sectors in the area since their peak in earlier centuries, Weymouth's port still has the largest annual fish tonnage in England and the third largest in the United Kingdom.^[50] Rio de la Plata estuary Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Estuaries An estuary is a semi-enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea. ... -1...

Transport

Weymouth railway station is the terminus of the route from London Waterloo and the route from Westbury and Bristol. Although its size had been appropriate for the intense rail traffic that came into and out of Weymouth on busy summer Saturdays, it was oversized by the time it was demolished in 1986. A smaller, modern station took up part of the site, while the rest of the old station site was given over to commercial development. Parts of the South West Main Line west of Poole have been reduced from dual to single track, reducing the capacity. As part of preparations for the 2012 Olympic Games, local councils have lobbied the Department for Transport to relay the track and increase services to London and Bristol, as well as introducing new direct services to Exeter.^[60] Weymouth railway station is a railway station serving the town of Weymouth in Dorset. ...

The Weymouth Harbour Tramway (or 'Quay Branch') in 2005

An unusual feature of railways in Weymouth was that until 1987 scheduled trains ran through the public streets along the Weymouth Harbour Tramway to the Quay Station at the eastern entrance to the harbour, for trains to travel to the European mainland by sea. Due to declining business, goods traffic ceased in 1972, while passenger services continued until 1987, when these services ceased from lack of use as well.^[61] The Quay Station now houses the Condor Ferries Terminal. Condor Ferries' main UK port is Weymouth, and the HSC Condor Express runs from Weymouth Harbour to the Channel Islands of Guernsey, Jersey and to the French port of St Malo.^[62] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (1600x1200, 833 KB)The Weymouth Harbour Tramway photographed from the Town Bridge, August 2005. ...

The A354 road connects the town to the A35 trunk road in Dorchester, and terminates at Easton on the Isle of Portland. The A353 road runs east from the town to the south of Warmwell, where it connects with the A352 road to the Isle of Purbeck and Wareham. In the 1980s the town centre was bypassed by the route to Portland, but the government's road building policy changed before the proposed relief road could be completed. Currently, the busy A354 follows its original route through the suburbs of Upwey and Broadwey, where traffic problems are common at peak tourist times, and particularly on the regular event days such as the town's annual carnival.

The Terras' current home is the out-of-town Wessex Stadium, but until 1987 the team played at a ground near the town centre, now the site of an Asda supermarket. The club's move pre-dated the move to new out-of-town grounds by professional league clubs, and came at a time when there had been no new league football stadia opened in England for 32 years. In 2005 a scheme was proposed that the Wessex stadium could be rebuilt once more; occupying a former pitch-and-putt golf course, coincidentally with Asda again building on the previous stadium site. Although the plans were to move by August 2007, the scheme was shelved before construction could commence.^[71] ASDA is a chain of supermarkets in the United Kingdom offering food, clothing and general merchandise products. ...

Just south of Weymouth in Portland Harbour is the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, where the sailing events at the 2012 Olympics will take place. The main reason that the resort was chosen to be an Olympic venue was the fact that the Sailing Academy had only recently been built, so no new venue would need to be provided. However, as part of the South West of England Regional Development Agency's plans to redevelop Osprey Quay, in which the Academy is built, a new 600 berth marina and an extension with more on-site facilities will be built.^[72] Weymouth and Portland are likely to be the first in the United Kingdom to completely build a permanent venue for the Olympic Games, as construction is expected to begin in August 2007 and finish before the end of 2008.^[73] Two RIBs at Castletown, Portland Harbour Portland Harbour is located beside the Isle of Portland, off Dorset, on the south coast of England. ...
