Ringwood: damaged postbox information plate
Detail of the collection plate on
Image The ring of numbers would originally have indicated which collection was next, in the days when collection times throughout the day were advertised. The postman could advance the dial by one when he emptied the box; the relevant figure would show through a circular hole in the display. Nowadays, only the final collection time is given and the replacement information display, which is starting to peel off badly, covered the previous hole.

Evening Primrose, Ringwood
I associate Oenothera biennis with railway sidings and track sides and here it is growing in abundance on wasteland around the site of the former Ringwood station, just off Embankment Way.

Crow Arch
This bridge, known as 'Crow Arch' on the old LSWR 'Castleman's Corkscrew' line near Ringwood is approached by a steeply sloping road on either side - not for the faint-hearted when riding a bike! Immediately past the bridge, the railway entered Ringwood Goods Yard before reaching the station.
