IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Tatnam Crescent, POOLE, BH15 2HG

The road is Garland Road, but Tatnam Crescent is the curved terrace of shops and flats. The cooperative food store in the background was formerly the Tatnam Hotel public house.

This Victorian postbox stands outside a terrace of shops which curves around the corner of Wimborne and Jolliffe Roads, known as Tatnam Crescent, whose frontages are rather cluttered with parked cars just now. There was a post office here, named Heckford Park, until the 1970s. The postbox receives its final daily collections at 5:30pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays.

At the junction of Wimborne and Tatnam Roads; since Image was taken, the pub has closed, and is now boarded up. No more "live music" or "accommodation".

This large pub is on the west side of the Wimborne Rd the B3093 in Longfleet.

Not a bad view from a hospital ward!

- 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. ************ BACK TO START: Image

This Elizabeth II-reign postbox is of a design more commonly found mounted on a post or strapped to a telegraph pole, but in this case it has been set into a brick pillar on the corner of St. John's Road, along which we are looking. It is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays.

House at the junction of Garland Road and Maple Road. There is an OS benchmark Image on the house wall near its junction with the front garden wall.

- Anti-tank Blocks: DoB ID: e32301 Poole - St Mary's RC Church - Cubes. These anti-tank blocks continue into the allotments next door, and are a part of a continuous line that once extended from Poole Park to Creekmoor. Image
