IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Stanfield Road, BOURNEMOUTH, BH9 2NP

The shop stands on the crossroads of Stanfield Road (left) and the more major Withermoor Road (ahead right). The other shopfront, despite facing Withermoor, actually has the address 58a Stanfield Road and is the Image

Stanfield Road Post Office occupied this small frontage to the right of the off licence, from 1930 when it replaced a branch in nearby Heathwood Road, till its closure in March 2004. Although its address is 58a Stanfield Road, its door faces Withermoor Road - Stanfield is the other road at this junction. It was one of the smallest suburban sub-post offices anywhere and its actual date of closure was a few weeks later than the other Bournemouth ones, because at the time the main Winton office was closed for a short period mid-move (see Image).

This telephone box, outside Image, has its door covered by a Government health message, aimed at parents, warning that underage drinking is twice as likely to result in unprotected sex. At night, the previous advert for Greggs, the bakers, is still clearly visible, somewhat unfortunately.

Several branches of this barber’s-shop chain exist in Bournemouth. They were previously called Wanna Haircut but grammarians were concerned that this kind of colloquialism contributed to a perceived downfall in literacy standards, and campaigned – successfully, evidently – that it be changed. Although the sign prominently states "We are open", it is Sunday and they are not.

Here we see the end of Frederica Road, exiting onto Withermoor Road (to the sharp right) as it changes into Bengal Road (far left). Edgehill Road can be seen far right, while a sharp left turn will take us into Heathwood Road. The exact point at which Withermoor Road changes to Bengal Road might be disputed by some; it would seem more logical if it were a few yards to the north, where there is a pronounced bend at the junction with Fernside Road. Furthermore, there are no properties between the two junctions to have their house-numbering affected by this assumption.
