I lived in Poole for 30 years, Shore Road, and the beaches were my playground. I had a 30-foot yacht moored in the harbor off Evening Hill until one day a storm dragged it off its mooring and damaged it. I was a resident DJ at both the Sandbanks Hotel and Haven Hotel I was buddies with the owner Paul Butterworth. My friend owned the Scandinavian-designed house Pieces Of Eight complete with an indoor swimming pool, those were the days in the mid-60s Sandbanks was not so developed. We had a beach hut next to the Pavilion there was no problem with parking. John Lennon was a visitor to Sandbanks as his aunt Mimi owned a bungalow not far from the Ferry. I used to sail my yacht to Old Harry Rocks bay drop anchor go ashore with the tender and go horse riding on top of the cliffs at Old Harry. Just watching your videos brought back all the memories, especially Shore Road beach where we would hang out. Times they are a Changin. Thanks for the memories.

Panorama Road is where John Lennon had a room there in his Aunt Mimi's bungalow and would stay from time to time, going out with a neighbour on his boat, including boating up the River Frome to the Quay, Wareham and eat at The Old Granary. It is said he started writing part of the 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' song (later finished by Paul McCartney) when returning downstream from Wareham and being chased by Beatles fans running along the riverbank!

The house with the wooden gates sold for 15 million actually is 2 houses as it has a 4 bed lodge at the entrance was once owned by Harry Rednap but sold it for a smaller house just a bit further up then sold that and lives in Canford Cliffs where he has a lot of problems with neighbours and the council. Jamie also moved on his divorce at the same time.

@@explorizm I am aware his home was sold for £10M. But you said house prizes can range from £1M - £10M. I just don't see why anyone would pay £1M for what I am viewing. Compared to those prizes in other countries in the developed world, you can get a mansion with lawn space. Perhaps proximity to the beach is why it's the top 5 most expensive in the world.

@@kaxar6954 What you are not seeing from the road at the front of the houses is their location. Many are facing the harbour with boat docks or facing the sea and it is that location that pushes the price up. If you live away from that specific place, property prices drop to an average for a detached house of £629,000.
