This postbox serves this little estate of desirable bungalows, each with arches in their design and few with a frontage wall or fence or hedge. The box is emptied at 5:15pm on weekdays and at 12:30pm on Saturdays.

Golf Links Road, Ferndown but once an ancient trackway
This view down Golf Links Road from its junction with the A347 (Ringwood Road, near Trickett's Cross) shows at first sight a fairly ordinary suburban highway disappearing into the distance; however its almost perfectly straight alignment betrays the fact that it was once an ancient trackway - traceable on 19th century maps - that led to Dudsbury Fort (or Dudsbury Camp), an early Iron Age fortification on the bank of the River Stour. In later centuries, it would almost certainly have been used by smugglers moving from the south coast inland to cross the heathland on their way to Cranborne and Salisbury.

Ferndown: postbox № BH22 96, Turbary Road
Turbary Road is the access road for a large housing estate which comprises a mix of council housing and desirable bungalows. Here, by the junction with the main road, are shops including a general store (round to the left), fish & chip shop, off licence and (out of picture, right) Chinese takeaway. The postbox, like the three in the estate, is emptied finally at 5:15pm on weekdays and at 12:30pm on Saturdays.
For many years residents of the estate campaigned for a post office, since it's quite a distance into Ferndown town from here – but they never got one.
