Across the Bournemouth to Weymouth railway line from the bus depot of Hants & Dorset Motor Services Ltd was Poole Gas Works. Opened in 1925 and made redundant by discovery of natural gas resources, its demolition was under way when the photograph was taken. The bus depot, which included a maintenance area as well as stabling ground, was built in the 1960s as part of a multi-storey car park and adjacent undercover shopping mall.
