Weymouth then and now and US Memorial

I spent yesterday afternoon in Weymouth with the family. I found time to take a few photo’s of WW2 related subjects, the US forces bound for Omaha on D-day having sailed from Weymouth and Portland.

Firstly two then and now’s, angles are not perfect.







You can see photo’s of the troops embarking at Weymouth here

 

The Memorial to US Servicemen situated on the Esplanade.

 

Nick,

Thanks for sharing the photos, doesn't seem to be many changes in Weymouth over the years.

Regards
Peter.

The seafront and the harbour area has not changed that much which made finding the comparisons easy. When you consider how much attention the Luftwaffe paid to the area during the war years it's amazing that more has not changed. I found this web page earlier that lists the air raids in the area.

Nice one, we do like Then & Nows.

 

Thought I would add a couple more.
