The Square is a public square that marks the centre of Bournemouth. It has been almost totally pedestrianised since 2000. Prior to this it was a large roundabout.
History
In the 18th century Decoy Pond House stood at the point where a plank was used to cross the Bourne Steam on the track from Poole to Christchurch.
Present day
It has many shops, and in the middle is the Obscura café, so called because it incorporates a camera obscura. The latter is no longer in use.
The Square separates the Central Gardens from the Lower Gardens.
The River Bourne flows under the Square.
