Hear the Sounds of Wareham A Hundred Years Ago!
The 10 minute soundtrack starts at Wareham Station from
where we travel by horse and cart to the town centre, The Cross, and its
market. We enter a typical Dorset pub and then visit the local fair in St
John's Hill. We end up at the Quay where boats are being loaded and
unloaded.
The sounds have been created using modern computer techniques and
recordings of local Dorset people, together with sound effects from the
past. The project took some months to complete and resulted from a young
museum visitor asking the Curator: "What did Wareham sound like 100
years ago?" We hope you enjoy this unique experience of
Wareham from all those years ago. |
