Poole, Lady Wimborne Cottages
At the junction of Longfleet and Ringwood Roads, one of two pairs of cottages (with more modern infill) built in a distinctive style as estate cottages by Lady Wimborne and her daughter, between 1867 and 1904; these are dated 1870. 111 of the model cottages are thought to have been built for Canford Estate workers. http://archive.dorsetecho.co.uk/2000/11/6/109091.html

Parkstone: postbox № BH15 138, Fernside Road
This Edward VII-reign postbox stands close to the Ringwood Road/Longfleet Road junction, diagonally opposite the Shah of Persia pub, and is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays.
The traffic lights are out of order – whether due to roadworks or to malfunction I don't know – and are currently replaced by four-way temporary lights, causing slight delays on all approaches. Hence the traffic cone in the middle of the road, blocking off the right-turn lane.

Longfleet, Shah of Persia
An imposing 1930s pub at the corner of Longfleet and Fernside Roads. Internally, four eating and drinking areas on two levels around an angular bar; TV, games machines, accommodation. Cask ales on offer at my visit: Marston's Pedigree, Ringwood Best, Wychwood Hobgoblin. Apparently bearing the name of an earlier establishment, demolished in 1931, commemorating the visit of the Shah to Poole in 1875.

The
