• Notes & Key words: 

John Hinde was an English photographer who set up John Hinde Ltd in Dublin, ireland in the early 1960s. He produced most of the earlier cards himself before employing other photogaphers such as E.Nägele, E. Ludwig, D. Noble and other names who spent a long time getting just the right view, usually with people in the foreground. The prints were then artistically hand processed and manipulated in Italy (long before digital production) before being published. His company was also closely associated with Butlins and they produced many of their cards. The company’s cards have become popular with collectors in recent years due to exhibitions and being featured in books, particularly by photographer and postcard collector Martin Parr. They were influential in the development of commercial photography and postcard images and now are regarded as miniature works of art and social records in themselves, particularly those of the 1960s and 1970s.

*************

Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town in the Borough of Bournemouth, England. The town has a population of 163,444 according to the 2001 Census, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. It is also the largest settlement between Southampton and Plymouth. With Poole and Christchurch it forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of approximately 400,000.

Founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, Bournemouth's growth accelerated with the arrival of the railway, becoming a recognised town in 1870. Originally part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997 the town has been administered by a unitary authority, meaning that it has autonomy from Dorset County Council.

Bournemouth's location on the south coast of England has made it a popular destination for tourists.^{[citation needed]} The town is a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre and financial companies that include: Liverpool Victoria and Standard Life Healthcare.

In a 2007 survey by First Direct Bank, Bournemouth was found to be the happiest place in Britain with 82% of people questioned saying they were happy with their life,^[2] although it had fallen to 152nd place in a 2008 survey
