This newish building occupies the corner plot of Lansdowne Road and Madeira Road (the latter being off to the right) and its address is 1 Madeira Road. The ground floor is a large Co-Op convenience store, while the floors above are student accommodation for Bournemouth University - one of many buildings hereabouts to cater for the uni's student residences. The site was previously occupied by Dorset County Council's local Social Services office and associated car park - it became surplus to requirements shortly after Local Government Reorganisation in 1997 when Bournemouth became a unitary authority and Dorset County Council ceased to have any responsibility in the town.
