Swanage: postbox № BH19 122, Queen?s Road
During the period 1879-1887, an oversight meant that the Victorian cipher was omitted from the front of postboxes, giving them the nickname 'anonymous' boxes. Here we see an example of such a box, also notable for its slot being in a higher position than normal.
This box is on the top section of Queen's Road and is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays.

Swanage Cottage Hospital
Swanage Cottage Hospital, with the name in tiles over the door, dates from 1890.
It became an NHS hospital in 1948 and is still open.
If not a cottage, it certainly looks more like somebody's house than a medical facility.
A point in time detail, the flag in front is at half mast to mark the recent death of Queen Elizabeth.

This frontage wall has a stone stating 'Queen's Road, West Durlston', but is of limited use now owing to both its illegibility and lowness.

Dovecote (?) in the grounds of Purbeck House
Somewhat dilapidated and boarded up, this seems to be a dovecote in the garden of Purbeck House - now a hotel (the house, not the dovecote!)
