by Maureen Weinstock printed by Longmans (Dorchester) Ltd 1953
ŠIndex compiled by Michael Russell OPC for Dorchester & Fordington - August 2015 (Last Updated Jan 2020)

Pages 11 to 24 are concerned with local government at Weymouth and pages 26-51 trading through the port of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis
I have produced this index to aid my own studies of Dorchester Merchants who used the port.
