Description

Beales was originally established in Bournemouth in 1881 by J E Beales. The building shown being constructed here was designed by North, Robin and Wilsdon. It suffered extensive bomb damage in 1943 and had to be demolished. It was subsequently replaced with a later building. The firm went into administration in January 2020.
