HRH Prince Charles Celebrates the 20th anniversary of Poundbury

The Duchy of Cornwall commissioned Limeleaf to document HRH Prince Charles, viewing the exhibition at Poundbury for its 20th anniversary. Poundbury town is an experimental town on the outskirts of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England.

The development is built on land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall and is Prince Charles pet project. He is known for holding strong views challenging the post-war trends in town planning that were suburban in character.

Poundbury is a beautiful town with gorgeous architecture and a nice open airy feel. With parks, bakeries and local shops close to almost all houses car use is minimised to create a greater feeling of community.

Below are a few of the photos we captured for the Duchy of Cornwall.

A spring day at the Buttermarket bakery

We spent some time in Poundbury, a new town on the outskirts of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England. It is built according to the principles of Prince Charles who is known for holding strong views challenging the post-war trends in town planning.

‘Our Bakeries’ have been building a new bakery to open this summer and we have been following the progress of the build by popping back every few months to photograph the current state. It’s shaping up to be a really nice bakery with it’s dome glass top giving some lovely views over Poundbury and the surrounding countryside.

We not only photographed the bakery but also the surrounding area and the shops local to the bakery, since Poundbury is very much built in keeping with the gathering ethos that Our Bakeries is known for it seemed only right to meet a few of the locals and include them.

Below are a few photos from the day.
