Winton: former fire station, former toilets
The demolition of the neighbouring building offers a rare view of the complete building. This was actually built as a combined fire station and public convenience (using the two front doors on either side) and closed in 1960 when
Image was opened. It is now used as a storeroom. The toilets themselves closed in 2007.
The history of the building is told in detail here: http://www.wintonforum.co.uk/firehistory.html

Winton, former fire station
On Wimborne Road, showing an attention to detail not found in modern stations. Behind the central gate is a courtyard; left and right, with stone surrounds, public conveniences, now closed, as is the case with most of Bournemouth's conveniences.

Winton: the thaw begins
A very similar view to the one here four hours earlier:
Image But the postbox is no longer snow-spattered and the road no longer hazardous.
The pavement has become rather more slushy, though, and would freeze in this state later; but the roads once cleared did not freeze over in the following night.
The car, I notice, is the same one that was in the previous image so it has either outstayed the 30-minute daytime parking limit or it has returned.

Winton: The Famous Old Pines
This was The Pines until it underwent a refurbishment in 1999 and tried to become a pre-club bar type place (although there are no nearby nightclubs). It has since reverted from its new name of The Glasshouse, back to the Pines, but with an odd "Famous Old" bit added. It is at 475 Wimborne Road, on the corner of Luther Road.

Bournemouth : Winton - Chicken Delite
Every time I pass this on Wimborne Road I wonder why it's spelled wrong - it's not like they don't have enough space.
