Station Road, West Moors
Station Road is the main road through the town of West Moors in Dorset. Its name is a clue that West Moors used to have a railway station. The house on the other side of the road is another clue that trains used to run here. It was built as a cottage to house the gatekeeper for the level crossing which was located here. The house was built at an angle to align with the railway tracks rather than the road. The railway closed to passengers in 1964, but remained open for occasional freight trains for a further ten years.
The road is on the route of the B3072.

United Reformed Church - West Moors
This building (mostly) dates from the 1970s; a 'Congregational' church was built on this site in 1903 when West Moors was about to undergo its first (of many) spurts of development - later becoming part of the URC movement. The church lies centrally in the village, on the corner of Station Road and Moorlands Road here in West Moors. It is known formally as "St. Martin's, West Moors".

Station Road, West Moors, looking north
The white dwelling nearest the camera on the left-hand side of the road (Station Road) is the old Railway Crossing lodge - one of the earliest buildings extant in the village, which partially obscures the 'Tap and Railway' pub behind it - formerly the 'Railway Inn'. In the middle distance on the right stands the old Post Office and the still-trading Hardware/Pet food supply shop.
