There's no denying it - pubs are part and parcel of Weymouth history.
Whether it's a back street boozer or an inn on the harbourside, we all have our favourite watering hole.
Many of us grew up doing the legendary Park Street Shuffle and most of us still like to frequent our favourite pubs as a way of winding down and catching up with a few mates.
These pubs, taken from the Echos 1980s archive, show how some pubs have changed hands and names over the years - and how a few, sadly, are no more.
