This small postbox is right on the Poole borough boundary, the boundary being Roman Road, in which we are stood. The Roman Road sign in front of us is an East Dorset one; the Lancaster Drive signs beyond are those of Poole Borough. The BH21 (Wimborne) area is to the left, with BH18 (Broadstone, part of Poole borough but postally separate) to the right. The postal boundary does not quite match the borough one all the way down Roman Road, thanks to short culs-de-sac off to the west which are obviously better served from the east. The box is emptied at 5:30 on weekday evenings and at 11:45 on Saturday mornings.
