Lancaster Drive, Broadstone
Lancaster Drive is long and climbs, this is the top where it crosses the Roman Road, forming the border between Broadstone and Corfe Mullen. The houses were built about 1980, I can remember when all this was heathland. Behind the houses is Corfe Hills School and its playing field.

Triple parking in Suburbia
Back streets in Suburbia have become car parks, because garages are used as junk store rooms, because houses are too small, because there's not enough land for our huge population.....May-day! May-day!

Broadstone: postbox № BH18 212, Lancaster Drive
This small postbox is right on the Poole borough boundary, the boundary being Roman Road, in which we are stood. The Roman Road sign in front of us is an East Dorset one; the Lancaster Drive signs beyond are those of Poole Borough.
The BH21 (Wimborne) area is to the left, with BH18 (Broadstone, part of Poole borough but postally separate) to the right. The postal boundary does not quite match the borough one all the way down Roman Road, thanks to short culs-de-sac off to the west which are obviously better served from the east.
The box is emptied at 5:30 on weekday evenings and at 11:45 on Saturday mornings.

This path, on the edge of Broadstone, follows the route of a Roman road. The Roman road was reasonably short, running from the port at Hamworthy to a hill fort at Badbury Rings.
