Fleetsbridge, pyramidal orchids
In an unusual site, in the middle of an industrial estate, is a group of pyramidal orchids (Anacamptis pyramidalis). Even more unusually, this species of orchid normally lives on lime; perhaps the explanation is that lime-rich soil or hardcore was imported when the site was being developed.

This unit in the Nuffield Industrial Estate is the main sorting office for the BH (Bournemouth) and DT (Dorchester) postcode areas, which between them cover all but the northern fringes of Dorset county along with the southwestern part of Hampshire – as reflected in the postmark 'Dorset & South West Hants' which items coming through here receive.

Fleetsbridge: postbox № BH17 2000, Witney Road
Given the location of this postbox, at the main entrance of Image, it is not surprising that it has the latest collection times of any postbox in Dorset – 8pm on weekdays and 3:15pm on Saturdays. The left-hand slot is for franked mail, the middle slot for large stamped items and the right-hand for small stamped items (presumably referring to items qualifying for the basic 'letter' rate as opposed to large letter or packet).
