This Victorian postbox stands outside 93 Seabourne Road, the former Pokesdown Post Office, which closed around 1998. It was replaced by the Boscombe East branch which opened in May 1997 a short distance away (which itself had closed in 1991). On this side of the box, markings can be discerned where a stamp dispensing machine would have been affixed to the side – the word 'Office' to the right of the slot is defaced by this.

The business name appears to have been overwritten, but other than that in very good condition.

A residential road of detached houses

Stourvale Place is a little gravel lane off Stourvale Road, which has a few houses along it. It forms public footpath number G08 and turns a corner to come out on Wyncombe Road. We see it here having just turned the corner, and Wyncombe Road is therefore in the distance. The garage is at the rear of a Wyncombe Road property. See Image for the view up the lane from the junction ahead, and Image for the view behind us, with links to further pictures along both routes.

It forms public footpath number G08 and turns the corner to come out on Wyncombe Road. Another path, Cromwell Place, comes out on it just beyond the high hedge on the right. We see it here from the Wyncombe Road direction - the path turns right, to run in front of the houses, to reach Stourvale Road.

Cromwell Place is a little passageway running through from the main Seabourne Road to Stourvale Place, which is itself a gravel lane. There are 5 residential properties along the lane, arranged as a little offshoot path from it. Cromwell Place forms public footpath number G09, and we look along it here towards the Seabourne end. On the left is the first of the five houses, the other four being along the dead-end path to the left. See Image for the view towards us from just ahead, and Image for the next view behind us - each with links to further photos along the route.

At the corner of Harcourt Road and Seabourne Road. The painted sign is battered but can hardly be called a ghost sign as it is appropriate to the shop.

It forms public footpath number G08 and turns a corner to come out on Wyncombe Road, which is where we are standing now. The sign says "leading to Cromwell Place", but it is only as a footpath that Cromwell Place meets the lane (see Image).
