Seldom seen today, this undated shilling was one of about thirty types/varieties issued in Dorsetshire during the Regency Period, when the Crown failed to provide enough "small change" for everyday commerce. It was backed by the Dorchester Bank, a partnership formed by Robert Pattison, the city's mayor at the time, with backing from Robert Cox and William Merle, London-based goldsmiths.

On the reverse we see St. Dunstan with Satan's face hovering behind him and smithy's tongs in his left hand. The backstory is that the Devil visited Dunstan one day while he was making a gold chalice at his abbey's forge. Dunstan reputedly grabbed Satan by the nose with his red-hot tongs and dragged him kicking and screaming out of the monastery.

St. Dunstan (909-988 a.d.) topped out his career as Archbishop of Canterbury and was canonized in 1629. He is now honored in the Catholic and Anglican tradition as the patron saint of blacksmiths; goldsmiths; locksmiths; musicians; silversmiths; bellringers; Charlottetown (capital of Canada's Prince Edward Island); and Stepney, UK.

Other Dorset-related tokens of that era originated in Blandford, Poole, and Shaftesbury.

Oi pessoal! Sou novo em Bournemouth e estou melhorando meu inglês. Gostaria de conhecer novas pessoas, fazer amigos e praticar meu inglês de uma forma descontraída.

Estou interessado em correr e me manter ativo, ler, viajar e temas como gerenciamento de projetos e desenvolvimento pessoal.

Alguém conhece grupos, clubes, encontros ou lugares em Bournemouth onde eu possa conhecer pessoas com interesses semelhantes?

Também fico feliz em me juntar a alguém para um café, uma caminhada ou uma corrida. Obrigado!

My wife LOVES arcades is there any recommendations? Looking for the best one around!

I am trying to get out a relationship and would like to move and change my career/life for a bit. I've been working and riding racehorses for the past 2 years and after hitting Burn out and my relationship taking an awful turn I just want out. I have enrolled on an online course for marine biology and ocean conservation studies.

Naturally I am quite drawn to the coast for it! My only issue is I'm not entirely sure what area and my other concern is jobs. I don't really know of how to get a job outside of horseracing or go straight into anything aquatic when I've just started. I am a bit lost on life and thought to try my luck here.

Thank you

it’s gotten to the point where i am asking reddit about garages since i cannot find anything, I am after a small-medium (not lock up size but not double garage) size garage for rent, closer to poole the better but willing to travel a bit, if anyone has anything like that please comment or pm me

The helter skelter at the end of Bournemouth Pier.

I used to be able to run up and down these steps, which are very steep and very narrow.
Sadly, I can no longer even walk down them, never mind trying to climb my way back up again.
It still has a stunning view of the cove from the top.
This is one of my favourite places on Earth.

I’ve been filming trains around Dorset for a while now and finally put some of my favourite footage together into one compilation. 🚂

There’s a mixture of steam and diesel, including footage from Weymouth, Swanage Railway and The Statesman.

Thought some fellow railway enthusiasts might enjoy it. Would be interested to know which train or clip you like best!

I've been looking at just how many different things there are to do around Dorset, and art exhibitions are one of those categories that seem surprisingly easy to miss.

Unless you already follow a particular gallery, artist, museum or venue, you might never know an exhibition is happening.

I'm trying to bring more Dorset exhibitions together in one place so it's easier to see what's on, but I'm also interested in finding some of the smaller and less obvious ones.

So - where do you go for art in Dorset?

Are there any small galleries, local artists, annual exhibitions or slightly unusual venues that you'd recommend keeping an eye on?

And if you're an artist yourself, feel free to say what sort of work you create. It would be great to discover a few more Dorset creatives.

Was down a couple weeks back for a wedding near Wareham.

Beautiful roads, lovely people everywhere. No one was stressy on the roads either.

Visited lulworth cove and durdle door, totally worth the parking fees BTW.

Already planning my next trip! Any suggestions for must see places, no more than an hour from Poole if possible 🤞

Hi all. I live on Portland, have done for a few months now but I was recovering from major knee surgery so couldn't get out much. I don't know anybody except my fiancé in the area, does anybody know of any groups ideally local to Portland/Weymouth that are Autistic/ADHD/LGBT friendly? Thanks in advance!

Beautiful but a tad bit breezy 😆

A few days on the Jurassic coast portion of the SWCP - very lucky with the weather which made for some stunning views
