Branksome: postbox № BH12 243, Yarmouth Road
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.

Branksome: the Old Generator House
A rather nice old building, part of the industrial area of Bourne Valley – a building which did indeed used to be one of the Southern Electricity Board's several premises along here.

Branksome: double viaduct
Surrey Road passes under two viaducts in quick succession, though only one now carries track. The near viaduct used to provide rail access to the old Bournemouth West station, which is now a train maintenance depot. The depot is accessed only via the southern 'arm' of the triangle (see map), meaning that this particular viaduct is redundant. The far viaduct carries the mainline between Weymouth and London Waterloo.

Old Generator House, Coy Pond Road, Poole
Right next to the electricity substation, presumably this building housed a generator in the days of municipal power. Now it is offices.
