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.
