Bournemouth Blue Plaques: No. 24 - former Head Post Office (missing)

A probable victim of Bournemouth's vibrant or notorious (take your pick) night-time economy, the outline of the missing plaque can still be clearly seen on the wall of the former Post Office building in Post Office Road. It read: "Bournemouth Post Office. Opened 1896. Bournemouth's first Post Office opened in 1839 at the Tregonwell Arms. After several relocations the office transferred to "Beckford Place" (re-named "Post Office Road" c.1900). This centenary plaque was unveiled by the Mayor of Bournemouth Councillor Mrs Jean Moore."
