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.

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.
