Part one: Britannia Legerstar self store can trace it's origins in Bournemouth back 100 years. The family business was started back in 1919 by Victor Trenchard who had moved to Bournemouth after discharge from the forces at the end of the First World War. He and his wife settled in Bournemouth with their two baby sons, both of whom would join him in his business when they left school. Initially, Victor used his pony and trap to carry out small moves and also to move luggage and packed boxes to and from the local Railway Station. In those days much of the long distance moving was just personal effects and the railways were the most effective means of transport between Towns and Cities throughout the Country.
