Bournemouth: St. Paul?s Night Shelter
This building, in St. Paul's Lane, is pretty much the last remaining building in the immediate area which gives any impression of an industrial past. It is surrounded by many 1960s and more modern buildings, a long-time vacant site, and the town centre by-pass from the late 70s. It is now used as a night shelter for the homeless.
The name St. Paul's Lane, and the dual carriageway to the north called St. Paul's Road, remind us of the former St.Paul's parish church and primary school, which in the early 1980s gave way to the Asda supermarket and travel interchange.

Bournemouth: the dead end of St. Paul?s Lane
Looking along St. Paul's Lane from ground level at its northern end. St. Paul's Lane is just a small back-street in the town's main business district, although it was a thoroughfare until the 1970s when the town's main road approaches were constructed.
In this picture, the advertisement hoarding on the right (for an upcoming film) shields what has been a vacant building plot for many, many years. On the immediate left is a tall wall around the grounds of the McCarthy & Stone building (

More distant is Cranborne House (

A few inches below us are the double yellow lines at the end of the carriageway, but pedestrian access is available to the pavement of St. Paul's Road running left-right immediately behind us. The route is physically blocked off to vehicles by a row of concrete posts.
The not-quite-new moon is just visible in light cloud above Cranborne House.

Bournemouth: path between Lansdowne and St. Paul?s Roads
Lansdowne Road has no direct access to St. Paul's Road for vehicles, but this path provides a link for pedestrians. The ASDA store is in the distance, left.

Bournemouth: subway under St. Paul?s Road
The subway leads to the Asda supermarket and the railway and coach stations. Thirteen panels on the wall spell out the word Bournemouth (with a spare at each end) and are embellished with painted handprints.
