Hi Trevor

I am in Dorset Dorset. I live in Iford although my workshop is over Wimborne way. I though that everything Boutrnemouth side of the river was Dorset and the "other" side of the river was Hants?

Hello Gingerneer     
When I was  boy Poole was in Dorset and Bournemouth was well in Hants.
The County Border followed the New Forrest Border set down by king Harold.
It was changed in 1972 by a very sick government.  :bang:
The Hampshire Avon as then was became the Dorset Avon.
The connection with Madmodders is that my ancestors many from Christchurch were Smiths Black,Sheet, Copper, and Tin, also Fusee chain makers.
And were known as the Forest smiths.
Any way this is somewhat off topic . :offtopic:
Thanks for your reply
Trevor :D
