Historic Dorchester locations revealed in new information boards

On February 24th the Mayor of Dorchester, Alistair Chisholm, unveiled a new set of information boards detailing the history of some of the town’s locations, in particular situated along the Millstream in Fordington. The boards are part of ongoing work by the Joint Heritage committee to provide information to residents and visitors alike. Our reporter Pete Foster went along to the unveiling which also included a walk around the Fordington area conducted by Mark Chutter.
