Bournemouth: St. Paul?s Night Shelter
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 17 Oct 2008
This building, in St. Paul's Lane, is pretty much the last remaining building in the immediate area which gives any impression of an industrial past. It is surrounded by many 1960s and more modern buildings, a long-time vacant site, and the town centre by-pass from the late 70s. It is now used as a night shelter for the homeless. The name St. Paul's Lane, and the dual carriageway to the north called St. Paul's Road, remind us of the former St.Paul's parish church and primary school, which in the early 1980s gave way to the Asda supermarket and travel interchange.
