Verwood: former main crossroads
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 7 Sep 2008
This used to be a busy crossroads, where the four main roads into the town met. Now, though, the main routes north and south have been diverted onto new roads, as illustrated on the map, and the centre of town is quieter, traffic-wise, as a result. North (ahead), we have the now closed Edmondsham Road, leading to the village of that name; east, we have Ringwood Road, the B3081 towards Ringwood; south, Manor Road leads towards West Moors and, eventually, Ferndown and Bournemouth; and west, Station Road takes us past the old railway station to Cranborne, Shaftesbury and Shepton Mallet.
