Guest Avenue, POOLE, BH12 1JB

Taken from footpath leading to Alder Road

These semi detached red brick houses , some of which have been considerabley extended are in the residential district of Branksome known as Bourne Valley.

An Elizabeth II-reign box, right in the dip of Winston Avenue, emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 12:15pm on Saturdays.

This post office stands midway along a parade on the flat top section of Alder Road; beyond a side-road to the north is another parade. The George V-reign postbox is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 12:15pm on weekdays.

I nominate this one as a candidate. Thetford Road is so short that it only requires six white lines down its entire length. It is named, like its neighbours, after Norfolk towns, although no properties have a Thetford Road postal address (the two near corner houses are in Yarmouth Road and the farther two in Sheringham Road). It is not a segment of a road which continues beyond some barrier – this is all there is of it. A strong counterclaim to this title will be found at: Image, and another at: Image

Seen from Yarmouth Road. 132 KV/33 KV.

This large postbox has been repositioned (or, more likely, been provided as a replacement for the old box) in the last couple of years. Wroxham Road is the turning just behind us, and on its next junction up there were a couple of shops on a corner which had become vacant – the postbox was outside those shops. The shops have recently been demolished and housing built in their place; they did include a post office for a short time – from 1932 until the Second World War. This box is currently missing its collection-times plate – or perhaps it is still awaiting one – although there are the words 'IN USE' scrawled on the white panel.
