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.

Alder Hills Nature Reserve, lake
Lake formed by old clay pit, previously owned by Sharp Jones' Bourne Valley Pottery, one of several clay pits in the area; abandoned 1948. The circular concrete structure in the foreground is probably part of the old workings.http://www.bournestreampartnership.org.uk/alder_hills_LNR.htm

Pond on Alder Hills Nature Reserve
Pond formed from clay workings, with the clay used for builders requirements - bricks, clay pipes, etc. Clay extraction stopped in 1948. At one time under threat of development (a huge Sainsbury's has been built on part of the original site) this remnant of old Dorset heathland with its pond remains surrounded by housing, light industrial and, of course, Sainsbury's. It is now a Nature Reserve.
