Parkstone: Bob Hann House
I know nothing about this building, really. The stonework above the door features the words 'Council Building' and there is modern signage outside, recognisably that of Poole Council but with wording removed so one does not know its former function. It is listed simply as a council 'depot' in the 1975 Kelly's Directory of the town.

Parkstone: Ashley Road West Post Office and postbox № BH14 12
Now that the Ashley Road East Post Office has closed (2004), the name Ashley Road West for this branch seems a little odd, since it's the only office in Ashley Road. The postbox is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays.
There had previously been a single office in Ahsley Road – probably this one – called plain 'Ashley Road' from 1 September 1893 until 1911 when the second one opened.
