Pokesdown: sign and Christmas tree on Pokesdown Green

Pokesdown Green is a small area by the road junction at the railway station, and many moons ago was occupied by a fire station. It has recently seen the transformation from grotty street corner to pleasant green, and its centrepiece is this 'village sign' style sign depicting an early 20th-century view of the main Christchurch Road, complete with trams.
