Boscombe: an art deco shop
This branch of Motabitz occupies striking premises in Christchurch Road, at number 709. I turned to the Kelly's Directory of 1975 to find something about its previous use, but that listing goes straight from 703 to 711.

Boscombe: The Sir Percy Florence Shelley
This Wetherspoon pub, at 673-675 Christchurch Road, opened on 18 May 1998 in what used to be a furnishing store and Lucky Seven Bingo Club (Kelly's Directory, 1975). I believe it had been a cinema before that. It is named after the son of the famous poet Shelley, who lived nearby.

Boscombe: postbox № BH7 56, Christchurch Road
Reflection of the sun off shopfront windows creates these streaks of light in Christchurch Road, in a completely different direction from the postbox's shadow which is cast direct from the sun.
