Springbourne: Transport House

Here is a lesson to all Geograph contributors who work in towns and suburbs. Finding a significant – or even a not-all-that-significant – building, photograph it, because you never know if it'll be your last chance! This is Transport House, at 328 Holdenhurst Road, the (clearly, former) Bournemouth local office of the TGWU (Transport & General Workers Union), on the corner of Windham Road. Never again will we see the square concrete slabs with whatever inscription or coat of arms was on them, alongside the first floor windows, for they are now boarded up. I remember they had some sort of image on them, but alas not exactly what.
