Bournemouth: former B&Q store now a church
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 21 Nov 2007
This branch of B&Q closed down in January 2007, and has recently been used by the Bournemouth Family Church, whose premises at Image were unavailable to them at the time of this picture because of building work. They returned to St. Swithun's a few months later. The photo is taken from the upper deck of the car park of Image UPDATE 10 December 2008 – I drove past this building today and discovered that it is in its final stages of demolition. I drive past it every day on the way to work and traffic is usually at snail's pace alongside, so I'm surprised I didn't notice it yesterday. Perhaps it was all done this morning, before 9am!
