Springbourne: shops on the old gyratory
This shops were in the centre of a gyratory system until the late 1980s when the roundabout junction was installed. The one alongside Ladbroke's was Holdenhurst Road East Post Office until its closure on 9 February 2004. It briefly retained retail use as an athletics supplier, but has now been converted to residential use.

Gents' Convenience, Springbourne
This loo, the "Pepperpot", is on Holdenhurst Road, Springbourne; one of 89 listed by English Heritage. Built about 1905; entrance should be at the back, down steps to beneath the street. English Heritage describes it as "a witty and carefully detailed solution to a utilitarian structure", but unfortunately it is firmly padlocked; it is also not obvious what facilities there were for ladies!

Facilities outside the club
A small, underground, public conveniences stand at the road junction close to the Bournemouth East Conservative Club. The toilets opened in 1905 but closed in 2017. It was then offered on the market for a mere £25,000 for repurposing. The Grade II listed structure has a concrete domed roof with access via a single entrance down a staircase. It is brick-built, fitted with Crittal windows and is believed to have water, mains electricity and gas available inside. The flower bags on the top seem to indicate it has new owners.

Springbourne: the listed loo
These gents' toilets, in a traffic island of Shelbourne Close, sadly, have been closed for a few years now. They are sort of semi-underground, accessed by this short staircase. It is a listed building and, apparently, locally known as the 'Cathedral of Springbourne', although I have never heard it referred to as such.
