This shopping centre, actually more of a triangle than a square, provides a good variety of outlets serving the southern, older section of the vast Canford Heath housing estate. There are a Chinese and an Indian takeaway, a bookmaker, chemist, a couple of estate agents and, far right, the Somerfield supermarket. There was a post office here too – it was not on the 2008 national hit-list for closure so I presume it has closed since and under different circumstances.
