Rossmore, play facility
Arne Avenue Play Facility. On the link photo, it is shown as "play area"; I wonder why the council had to rename it in such an unfriendly manner? http://www.leisureprojects.net/Playbuilder/arneavenue.htm

Alder Hills, The Dorset Knob
Hall & Woodhouse pub in Alder Road. Internally, central rectangular bar with separate drinking areas to left, front & right. Pleasantly not over-modernised; dark wood glazed screens & stone fireplaces. Cask ale on offer at my visit: Badger. The name presumably refers to a traditional Dorset biscuit, which to some tastes like balls of very stale, very crunchy white bread. For some customer reviews, see http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/27/2785/Dorset_Knob/Parkstone

Branksome: postbox № BH12 103, Aspen Gardens
This postbox is currently missing its information plate; indeed missing the border that would keep it in place. The little sticker is one of those that were affixed in autumn 2007 explaining that Sunday collections would cease from 27 October that year (these were put on every box since the majority that did not have Sunday collections had details of the nearest that did) – so presumably the plate has been missing at least since then.
