Wimborne Minster: postbox № BH21 4, Lacy Drive
This postbox serves a large-ish estate of bungalows – as is so often the case, few with even the smallest boundary wall or hedge – on the corner of Minster View. I didn't venture up there but there may well be a view towards the two towers of the minster.
The box is emptied finally at 5pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays.

No. 7 Milton Road
This large Victorian or perhaps Edwardian house on a very prominent site at the corner of Milton Rd and Tennyson Rd in Wimborne was being demolished. It will be replaced with a block of flats and two houses on the same site. Rather a shame, as the whole of the rest of the street consists of beautiful large Victorian houses. I rescued some beautiful coloured glass windows from here a few minutes earlier.

Wimborne, River Allen
Slightly swollen Allen, after recent rain. The Allen is a chalk stream tributary of the Stour, into which it flows just over 1km to the South. The river flows for about 20km, with its source near Wimborne St. Giles

East Borough, Wimborne, west side - Hartlands
East Borough also starts from the town centre heading north and parallel with West Borough. Almost at its most northerly point is Hartlands, at no. 77, late C18 to early C19, and grade II listed. Of interest are the hood moulds above the first-floor windows that are carried on carved or cast heads, likewise on either side of the window of the later single storey extension to the left. http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=107057&mode=adv
