Ensbury Park: Boundary Road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 9 Jun 2008
This road, unmade till the late 80s, marks the historical boundary between Hampshire and Dorset until 1904, when the area west of here was transferred from Poole to Bournemouth and, therefore, Dorset to Hampshire. Then, in 1974, that area returned to Dorset, along with the rest of Bournemouth. This is now the A347, which used to run up the main shopping street in Winton, Wimborne Road, providing much needed relief for the latter.
