HERE'S an old advert for the Carlton Hotel in Bournemouth, which is hoping to make its mark on the seaside holiday map this summer.

The East Cliff hotel has unveiled its £1 million restoration work, returning the property to its former glory of 1903, when it first opened its doors to the public.

For the last 113 years, the cliff top sea front Carlton hotel has welcomed holidaymakers to its 76-bedroom hotel and is raising a toast to creating more English seaside memories.
