Before gas was dashed; when buses were green
Across the Bournemouth to Weymouth railway line from the bus depot of Hants & Dorset Motor Services Ltd was Poole Gas Works. Opened in 1925 and made redundant by discovery of natural gas resources, its demolition was under way when the photograph was taken. The bus depot, which included a maintenance area as well as stabling ground, was built in the 1960s as part of a multi-storey car park and adjacent undercover shopping mall.

Would you dare drive down here?
Although a one-way street being a dead-end appears somewhat incongruous, the signs are in fact accurate. I'll leave those of you brave enough to drive down there to discover how it works.

Poole: Old Town First School modern extension
This school was originally (well, formerly) South Road Combined School (Combined denoting that it covers the age range of both first and middle schools). A reorganisation amalgamated it partly with Oakdale to become Oakdale South Road Combined on an Oakdale site, leaving this school to serve only the first-school age group. The original building is still standing beyond this brand new building, which we are looking at from across Lagland Street.
