Streets Toy Shop, Christchurch Road, Ringwood
Founded in 1915, closed in 2011. One of the problems, it seems to me, of shops along this stretch of Christchurch Road, is that the footfall here is now rather low compared to Ringwood High Street. It is also a very busy road with few obvious parking places.

Interior of Streets Toy Shop, Ringwood
This shows part of the shop and Mr. Alan Andrews who is a grandson of the founder Charles William Street. The business started in 1915 as a garage repair business with petrol pumps and a cycle shop and a pram and toy shop. They also delivered coal locally and ran a private ambulance. See also Image and Image
This shop closed in April 2010, see http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/5060904.Game_over_for_Ringwood_toysell/ and BBC video http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8575055.stm
In December 2012 planning permission was granted for the redevelopment of the site, number 55 to 57 Christchurch Road. The ground floor shop is to be retained and refurbished. The warehouse, garage and extension behind it are to be demolished and a terrace of four cottages built fronting onto Woodstock Lane.

Christchurch Road, Ringwood
Looking towards its junction with Mansfield Road (where white van is). On right is the Methodist & United Reformed church, Trinity Church (sorry about the terrible composition will take a better one sometime). Also on right is Streets Toy Shop, which was founded by Charles William Street in 1915, has been here ever since, and is still family owned. See Image

Fire Station, Christchurch Road, Ringwood
The temporary notice says "Car wash Ringwood Fire Station 27th May" and, I presume, refers to a fun fund raising event.
