Elite Living is Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole’s premier daily deal website, has brought you this feature courtesy of Bournemouth Echo.

There’s a lot of development going on across Bournemouth. With the time-travelling help of Google streetview, here are some before and after pictures that show how the town’s skyline is changing…

1. Richmond Hill and the Square

From here, there’s no escaping the way the new Terrace Mount development dominates the skyline behind Halo.

2. Exeter Road

This view of the Hilton from Exeter Road, shows just how much of a landmark the hotel is going to be.

3. Old Christchurch Road

The Citrus Building is apparently already 75% sold.

4. Madeira Road

The Citrus Building is a 64 home development on the former Leyton Mount car park, one of several sites being developed by the Bournemouth Development Company.

5. West Central 

OKay, so at the moment the West Central development is going down instead of up. But here’s what it will look like once it’s finished:

6. Wessex Way

Remember what the Wessex Way used to look like before the Madeira Road Car Park was built?

7. From Bath Road
