Bournemouth in 1964 was a vibrant seaside town, experiencing a significant surge in popularity.
It was a time of transition, marked by a blend of traditional seaside charm and the emergence of a new youth culture.
The town continued to be a popular destination for holidaymakers, offering sandy beaches, piers, and traditional seaside attractions. The Mods and Rockers subcultures were prominent, and their clashes on Bournemouth’s beaches made national news.
The town hosted concerts by popular bands of the era, including The Beatles, The Kinks, and The Who.
The 1960s was a time of social and cultural change, and Bournemouth was not immune to these influences.
