Hamworthy: postbox № BH15 67 and phone, Samson Road
This Elizabeth II-reign postbox has had an aperture restrictor affixed, limiting the thickness of items that can be posted – probably following a spate of vandalism or (especially at this time of year) the posting of fireworks.
It is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 12:30pm on Saturdays.

Hamworthy: postbox № BH15 42, Blandford Road
This large postbox stands outside
Image and dates from the more recent end of the Elizabeth II reign – we can tell because the words 'Royal Mail' replaced 'Post Office' on boxes after 1994. It is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 12:30pm on Saturdays.

Hamworthy: Hamworthy Junction Post Office
Looking squarely into the sun across the corner of Blandford and Lake Roads, we see this post office, named to distinguish it from the former Hamworthy Post Office further southeast, which has served the area since early 1926. Hamworthy Junction is the former name of Hamworthy railway station, a little northwest, when the branch line down the Hamworthy peninsula was operational.
