Bournemouth East Liberal Club
Tucked away off the Holdenhurst Road, the club closed some time ago. Still, some interesting paintwork remains.

Springbourne: Transport House
Here is a lesson to all Geograph contributors who work in towns and suburbs. Finding a significant – or even a not-all-that-significant – building, photograph it, because you never know if it'll be your last chance!
This is Transport House, at 328 Holdenhurst Road, the (clearly, former) Bournemouth local office of the TGWU (Transport & General Workers Union), on the corner of Windham Road. Never again will we see the square concrete slabs with whatever inscription or coat of arms was on them, alongside the first floor windows, for they are now boarded up. I remember they had some sort of image on them, but alas not exactly what.

Bournemouth Blue Plaques: No. 27 - Inspector F G Abberline
The plaque is on the front of 195, Holdenhurst Road the retirement home in 1904 of Inspector Frederick George Abberline when it was known as "Estcourt". He was most well known, and indeed made famous by his work on the notorious "Jack the Ripper" murder case. He died at "Estcourt" aged 86 in 1929, and is buried in Bournemouth's Wimborne Road Cemetery where a black granite headstone was erected in 2007 on his previously unmarked grave.

Bournemouth - 195, Holdenhurst Road
The retirement home in 1904 of the former "Jack the Ripper" case detective, Inspector Frederick George Abberline (1843 - 1929) when it was known as "Estcourt". He died here in 1929, and was buried in an unmarked grave in Bournemouth's Wimborne Road Cemetery. A campaign in recent times for the grave to be recognised culminated in 2007 by the provision of a suitably inscribed granite headstone, commemorating both Frederick and his wife Emma.
