Parkstone: postbox № BH14 49, Ashley Road
This Elizabeth II-reign postbox is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 11:30am on Saturdays.
The fact that lights are beginning to come on says more about the weather than about the time of day. A warm sunny daytime quickly became a grey, drizzly early evening and it was unseasonally dark by just after 8pm; this picture was taken at about 8:30.

Richmond Road, Upper Parkstone, Poole
Richmond Road in Upper Parkstone, a suburb of Poole, photographed on a cold December day. There had been a dusting of snow overnight, but this had melted on the road surface, either because the road had been gritted or as a result of vehicles driving through. Pavements were still quite slippery and icy.
This photograph was taken as sunlight was clearing the mist.

Woolworths, Branksome
Now having been closed for a couple of months the frontage of the shop is beginning to suffer from vandalism. The shop has no new takers and leaves a big gap in the shops on the north side of Ashley Rd close to the junction with Mansfield Rd and Victoria Rd
