1. Lifeboat Station Marker
From this hotel in 1865 until the lifeboat station moved to East Quay in 1882, on lifeboat calls the crew was taken by horse brake to their station at Sandbanks, which is now the site of the Royal Motor Yacht Club.
In 2015 the Poole lifeboat station celebrated 150 years of saving lives at sea.
