Dear Wareham, Wool & Bere Regis, Wow, what a summer of events we have all had. Hasn’t it been great! Our sister company Dorset Publications was part of the Drug Free World campaign where we sponsored 1000’s of Truth About Drugs booklets given out in Weymouth during the Olympics and also at the Bournemouth Carnival. You can see some of our photos inside. The Jive Aces, the UK’s Number One swing band, were our fantastic entertainment for the day!

There has also been the famous Bournemouth Air Festival, Great Dorset Steam Fair and the Dorset County Show. Not forgetting last, but by no means least, the completely awe-inspiring Paralympics! I think th e s u m mer h as en d ed with a r eal celebration. Did you notice, as there was much less bad news expressed during the Olympics that the whole of Britain came alive. Maybe we can learn from that.

Anyway… Back to school for some now and back to work for the rest of us. Here in The Wareham District Directory there are interesting articles to read and of course our local business and trade’s people all ready to help you. During these interesting times it is really important to support each other. All of the advertisers inside appreciate greatly the work that you give them. Please do mention The Wareham District Directory when making any calls.

I hope you all have a fabulous September.

www.facebook.com/WarehamDistrictDirectory

Augustus Moore, disgraced clay tobacco pipe maker Early in 2010 a new gas pipe trench was dug to the east of Westport House (Purbeck District Council Offices) in Wareham and the workmen noticed that hundreds of broken clay tobacco pipes were scattered in the up-cast soil. Most of them were decorated with ‘fluting’ on the bowl and the letters ‘A’ and ‘M’ were impressed either on the bowl or the ‘spur’. Debris from a kiln where the pipes had been made was also recovered.

Later that year a small excavation was undertaken by a group of archaeologists to try to pin point the kiln site (these are incredibly rare). Further exploratory work has recently taken place and all to no avail – if there was a kiln, it had been totally and absolutely demolished. All the evidence is there – the bricks and stone, many of them charred from extreme heat, fired clay which supported the pipes during firing, and thousands upon thousands of fragments of clay pipe. Why such destruction?

The answer probably lies in events which happened in the early 1830s. A young man, Augustus Moore, a tobacco pipe maker, brought his wife Sarah and four young children from Wyke Regis to Wareham. A fifth child, a daughter Charlotte, was baptised in the church of Lady St Mary in 1833. Making pipes was obviously not a lucrative occupation and in 1834, Augustus (who may have been fond of a drink), persuaded three young men, John Hardy, Samuel Best and Joseph Bishop, to accompany him on stealing sprees. At the time he was 35, his accomplices were 23, 21 and 24 respectively.

Firstly they stole a trunk containing jewellery and clothing from a cart in West Street. On another occasion they filched blue and white china from a shopkeeper also in West Street and finally they stole a shirt from a liquor seller.

They were speedily brought to justice and were committed and tried at Dorchester Assizes on February 21st 1834. (Their trial was immediately before that of the Tolpuddle Martyrs.) The

WDD August 2012 page 6

verdict for all four was seven years hard labour, and transportation to Australia. Our man, Augustus Moore was sent to a prison hulk at Portsmouth and on 25th June that year together with another 259 prisoners set sail on the ‘Hooghley’ for the southern hemisphere. The ship docked in Sydney, New South Wales on 13th November after a five-month journey.

Moore served his time and was granted a ‘certificate of freedom’ on 25th May 1841. Like many convicts he had plied his trade during his ‘confinement’ and the certificate states that he was employed as a clay tobacco pipe maker, a druggist and a groom. He stayed in Australia – a child Augustine Moore is recorded, but the trail goes cold….more research (in Australia) is needed!!

His poor wife and children were left destitute; Sarah died a pauper in Wyke Regis in 1880.

As for the Wareham pipe kiln, it was probably destroyed after A ugustus was tried at Dorchester. The little pipes with his initials ‘A’ and ‘’M’ are the poignant reminders of the man, his trade and the harsh realities of life in early Victorian England.

On Wednesday 26th September at 7.30pm at Wareham Middle School, Lilian Ladle and Robert Lancaster will be talking about the excavation, Augustus Moore and early Victorian Wareham. Finds from the excavation will be on display and Robert (the clay pipe expert) is keen to look at and identify any pipes you may have.

This event is free and open to all.

Whatever social event you’ve got lined up, let Fab Frocks of Westbourne help you find the answer to that perennial problem of ‘what shall I wear?’

If an autumn or winter wedding is in your social diary, Bournemouth’s multi award-winning boutique has a huge choice of modern mother-of-the-bride and groom collections on offer, some of which are exclusive to Fab Frocks in Dorset.

Dresses with boleros, jackets and frock coats feature for the autumn. Whether you’re looking for a bright statement outfit or a soft and sophisticated look, there’s a choice of colours ranging from rich cobalt blue, purple and red berry tones to subtle coffee colours and silver greys. Prices start from £195 for a dress & jacket At Fab Frocks, we believe in dressing real women and stock sizes 8 to 24 with a special order service up to size 30 on some outfits.

As well as the mums, Fab Frocks can help brides and bridesmaids.

If you’re looking for a wedding dress but everything is just too fussy, then try our Simply Bridal collection. Getting the wow factor doesn't have to involve a long train or a big netted skirt or even the huge price tag. Our Simply Bridal range starts from just £186. All dresses come in Ivory or White but if you want to add a bit of colour to your special day, then you'll be spoilt for choice from the other 57 colours that many of the styles are available in. Wherever you may be tying the knot, be it a church, beach, country house or garden – there is – quite simply – a wedding dress for you.

Bridesmaids will also be spoilt for choice with a modern range of maids dresses available in up to 59 colours, a choice of lengths and a choice of fabrics.

If you’re a wedding guest, come and take a look at our range of dawn to dusk dresses, perfect for taking you from the wedding ceremony right through to the party in the evening.

When it comes to the festive season, Fab Frocks of Westbourne has one of the biggest selection of dresses on the south coast. For those daytime events in the run up to Christmas – drinks at friend’s houses or a lunchtime office bash – Fab Frocks has a brilliant selection of dressy daywear. Even better news, a lot of the day dresses and some of the cocktail dresses have sleeves – top on the wish-list for many women.

For black-tie functions, look no further. There is a choice of over 500 designer evening and cocktail dresses to suit all shapes, sizes and budgets.

OCIETY

Parry Jones’ talk about the life of Thomas Hardy for the WarehamHemsbach Society at Wareham Library was well attended. From the library were evening views of North and South Street and the River Frome.

Thomas Hardy left school at 16 to become an architect’s clerk. After a few years he devoted his life to writing novels with his wife Emma transcribing his drafts in copperplate handwriting for the publishers. He ended his career by writing poems which his second wife Florence typed.

After the talk our chairman Myrna told us about the plans for the visit from Hemsbach from 6th to 10th September. This will include a service at 2.00pm on Sunday 9th at Lady St Mary Church followed by a procession to South Bridge to which everyone is welcome.

Walk for Wildlife On the 23rd September, join us for the Dorset Walk for Wildlife. This year, this annual fundraising event for walkers of all levels and ages returns to Purbeck by popular demand. There are three routes to choose from, ranging from 6 to 22 miles. They will all start from Leeson House, a beautiful manor house situated in the village of Langton Matravers near Swanage.

Each route will lead walkers along the coastline, giving everyone a chance to explore the famous Purbeck area: Dancing Ledge if you choose to walk 6 miles, St Aldhem’s Head if you choose 12 miles and Kimmeridge Bay for those who tackle 22. All walkers will pass through Durlston Country Park with its picturesque views and a castle, so make sure you take a camera! A little further down the road,

walkers will pass Anvil Point Lighthouse, which is built of local stone.

For those with children, there will be exciting and educational activities on your return. The grounds of Leeson House will also be open to explore, making this a fantastic day out for the whole family.

You can register and start fundraising today. Go online and visit the website dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/ walkforwildlife and you can use the links to set up an online charity sponsorship page. Alternatively, you can download a charity fundraising form. If you plan to walk in a group, you can set up a group page - you can even set one up for your canine friends! The money you raise will help us conserve Dorset’s wildlife.

Walkers can also register from 7am on the day at Leeson House.

Drug Free message at Bournemouth Carnival Stephen and I, with Dorset Publications (sister company to Purbeck Publications), were proud sponsors of the Drug Free World entry at the recent Bournemouth Carnival.

5,000 “Truth About Drugs” booklets were given out in the streets by more than 25 enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers.

The Jive Aces, the UK’s No. One Swing Band who recently got into the semi finals of Britain’s Got Talent were our fantastic entertainment and we won first place for the best dressed float! The Jive Aces are internationally known and regularly play at local venues here in the South. They are amazing! You can see them at www.jiveaces.com.

Find us online at www.warehamdistrictdirectory.co.uk taking drugs. Here is what the Drug Free World organisation says about their App which can be downloaded for free…

The best solution to the drug problem is education.

Much of what kids hear on the streets about drugs comes from those selling them. The Foundation for a Drug-Free World provides educators with practical tools to give youth solid facts which enable them to choose to lead drug-free lives all on their own.

No one questions the severity of the drug problem and its devastating impact on youth. Academic results suffer and, even worse, drugs undermine health and destroy young lives.

The best solution is to reach young people with effective, fact-based drug education—before they start experimenting with drugs. Tweens, teens and young adults who know the facts

23

about drugs are much less likely to start using them.

This Truth About Drugs Education application is the ideal supplemental aid.

It fills the growing demand for practical tools to help the teacher, instructor or drug prevention specialist communicate the truth about drugs swiftly and effectively.

The application features full lesson plans, assignments and classroom activities that capture and retain young people's attention—and elicit their participation.

Students willingly read, view and, most importantly, use the information to make the right choices about drugs.

Whether you are a young adult, a teacher or a parent Stephen and I hope you take advantage of using this Drug Free World App if you have an IPhone or IPad or you can go online to www.drugfreeworld.org.

The data is excellent!

Pull the other one…

When chemists die, they barium.

Jokes about German sausage are the wurst.

I stayed up all night to see where the sun went.

Then it dawned on me.

This girl said she recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I'd never met herbivore.

I'm reading a book about antigravity. I can't put it down.

PMS jokes aren't funny, period.
