Westbourne: postbox № BH4 24, Surrey Road
This Victorian postbox was made during the period 1879-87, when the royal cipher was accidentally omitted from the front of the box. It has an unusually high slot, and it is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays.

Bournemouth: Suffolk Road South
Before the by-pass dual carriageways were constructed in the early 1970s, Suffolk Road was a through route which can be visualised from the current map. It ran from The Triangle, roughly northwest, and then split into two arms, this being the more northern one.
It is thus rather odd that the other two arms should retain the name of plain Suffolk Road, while ‘South’ rather than ‘North’ was suffixed to this segment.

Bournemouth: autumnal tree on Queen?s Road
Looking across Queen's Road at the point where it crosses the Gardens. The tree at the corner of the Gardens path is mid-turn - its upper leaves bright red; lower ones a yellowy green; and the bottommost foliage yet untouched, having less direct sunlight available.
