Wick Ferry terminal, Christchurch, Bournemouth, United Kingdom circa 1900
No full textThe Wick Ferry connects the village of Wick to Christchurch across the River Stour, and locals will have crossed the river here by boat for centuries. The first recorded ferry operator was a Mr Marshall who was provided with land on the Wick side to build a ferry landing place around 1815. Later, Eli Miller started a rival service from the Christchurch bank, and his family ran the ferry until 1903. It was then sold to J.C.Edmonds, who ran it until 1946. They employed the ferryman Jack O'Brien from 1900 until the 1920s. In 1947, the ferry was motorised for the first time, by which time the ferryman was Brigham Young. A holiday camp was created at Wick, and they then ran the ferry. It first closed for the winter in 1957, although local protests forced its resumption by Bob Bishop after five weeks. His daughter Dawn later took it over from him.
In the 1960s, the ferry was taken over and run by Tuckton Riverside Services, who also ran the Funnel Boats which ran in competition with the United Motor Boats. The ferry is now operated by Bournemouth Boat Services, owners of United Motor Boats. Since 1963, the ferry has been summers only. It runs every day (weather and tide permitting) from Easter until the end of October, from 10am until 5pm

What Mr. Wick built was a house that expressed very strongly their New England background.
It was a story-and-a-half cottage with a huge chimney stack in the center. This style of house was anchored to ground by the chimney which stood opposite to the frontdoor and emerged through the ridge line of the pitched roof. Besides serving the kitchen and the two front room fireplaces, the chimney dictated the location of the rooms.Original file name Collage (1).jp
