The sign in the middle of the junction explains that this was once the site of a pound for impounding cattle, hence the road name. For a close-up view of the sign, see Image

Defending Dorset in 1940: the Maiden Newton - Poole Harbour Stop Line (97)
-
Anti-tank Block: DoB ID: e24910
Poole - Sandbourne Road - Cube. The sole survivor in an alley off Sandbourne Road of a continuous line of similar concrete anti-tank blocks along this street that once extended from Poole Park to Creekmoor.
This is the last photo in the series recording mostly pillboxes and anti-tank cubes on the Stop-Line covering a distance of some 25 to 30 miles, and inevitably ending here in Poole. The Maiden Newton to Poole Harbour Stop Line was but a small part of a colossal anti-invasion undertaking that during 1940-41 embraced the entire country from Lands End to John O'Groats, lines of defence that thankfully never saw a shot fired in anger.

Poole, Henning's Farm
On Fernside Road; a house with outbuildings to the rear, obviously out of character with its mainly post-war surroundings. Looking at old OS maps, this was Henning's Farm.
