The postbox outside Image The little yellow patch on the collection-times plate denotes at-a-glance that there is a collection on Sundays, and therefore tells you that it is outside a post office, or a recently closed one.

Corfe Mullen actually has two post offices – Hill View, a mile or so to the south, and this one which is actually called Corfe Mullen.

On Blandford Road, at the corner of Badbury View Road.

Overlooking the green at Brog Street stands Spring Cottage, a late 19th century cottage with older origins, having rendered walls under a clay tiled gabled roof. The roof features two chimneystacks, one square in plan, the other rectangular. The front of the cottage has a simple elevation, with small casement windows at first floor level and a long, narrowly projecting bay at ground level. This is fully glazed, divided by well-proportioned mullions, and with a half-glazed front door located in the centre. The cottage faces directly onto the road, behind a short front garden enclosed by a low brick wall.

View north west up the Blandford Rd with the Wimborne Rd going off on the right and the junction with Meadowfarm Lane just visible on the left.

Once the site of a farm growing violets and lavender.

A short line of attached cottages, where the author has had some interesting parties.
