Humble origins of one of Britain's most exclusive addresses.
A new book reveals how the millionaire's row of Sandbanks went from being a windswept wasteland to one of the most sought-after addresses in the world has been published.
Today the harbour-front plots on the exclusive enclave in Poole, Dorset, are crammed with £10m mansions and luxury flats while Ferraris and Bentleys parade its tree-lined streets.
