Parkstone: postbox № BH14 30, Weymouth Road
The convenience store here also used to be Heatherlands Post Office, although the post office was accessed separately, by a door in this side wall, level with or immediately behind the postbox as we look here. (It shared the same address as the shop, 403 Ashley Road.) The post office closed on 9 April 2003.
This explains why the postbox here is a large one, and it is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 11:30am on Saturdays.
The post office branch was named Constitution Hill from its opening in 1881 to its being renamed Heatherlands on 2 May 1892.

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.
