 Blandford Forum
|
|
| Blandford Forum,
on the River Stour, the town was rebuilt in 1731 after a great
fire destroyed much of the centre, the work was completed
within 30 years by the Bastard brothers, who were noted period
architects. As a result it is one of the best preserved Georgian
towns in England.
The market place
is much as it has been for over two hundred years.
The town hosts the week long Great Dorset Steam
Fair every September, a large gathering of steam tractors and stationary engines. |
