The history of the Manor Road in Bournemouth.

Bournemouth started as a small settlement in the early 19th century but began to grow rapidly as a seaside resort in the mid-19th century. Manor Road, along with many other roads in the area, was established during this period to accommodate the increasing number of visitors and residents.

The name "Manor Road" suggests its connection to a manor or estate. Bournemouth was once part of the Manor of Christchurch, and the road might have been named after a manor or estate that existed in the area. Manor Road, like many other streets in Bournemouth, witnessed significant residential development during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the town grew in popularity, grand Victorian and Edwardian houses were built along Manor Road, showcasing the architectural styles of the time.

During World War II, Bournemouth, like many coastal towns in England, played a role in the war effort. The town was subject to bombings, and some areas, including Manor Road, were affected. However, Bournemouth quickly recovered after the war, and the street was rebuilt and resumed its residential character.
