Bournemouth: Bristol & West House from above

Looking down the bottom section of Richmond Hill, we see the northern corner of Bristol & West House, abutting Post Office Road (left). The building is named after its original occupants, the Bristol & West Building Society, which has long since been taken over by another society – I believe the Portman (now themselves subsumed by the Nationwide) whose headquarters were just up the hill behind us at Image The view from here shows how the first floor becomes the ground floor at this end, thanks to the steepness of the site. See Image for the view of the building from the bottom of the hill.
