Sylmor Gardens, BOURNEMOUTH, BH9 3EN

An Elizabeth II-reign postbox set into a pillar adjoining 142 Malvern Road; now that the house and pillar have been plastered it looks almost as if it is set into the property itself. Although it noticeably used to be a shop, this was never a post office.

This short public footpath leads from Oakwood Road to Oakwood Road - the road is three sides of a square and the path leads through the middle of it. It acts as rear garage access to odd numbered houses and also a segment of Malvern Road, the fourth side of the square. Here we see it midway along in a northerly direction - see Image for a view of the path from the end behind us, and Image for a view towards us from just ahead.

The usual grass-and-gravel surface is embellished just ahead with what looks like rubber doormat-type patches and also broken-up concrete slabs painted quite bright white.

Dwellings will soon be on the site of the former Martin Luther German church, which took over the disused church of St. Birinus, on the acute corner of Malvern and Easter Roads, in 1963 until its demolition in January 2008. A history of the church will be found on the excellent Winton Community website here: http://www.wintonforum.co.uk/martinluther.html

A wintry scene on Haverstock Road in Charminster, in the northern suburbs of Bournemouth. This image was taken during a cold snap in December 2022. A dusting of snow had fallen overnight. It was gradually turning to slush on the road surface as cars drove over it.

This George VI-reign box is on the corner of Haverstock Road and, er, Haverstock Road! All three sections of road that meet here are called that – the main thoroughfare to the north and southeast, and the short link road to the west. The postbox numbering sequence is quite a mystery – the first bit obviously refers to the postcode disstrict BH9 but I doubt that there are many more than 335 postboxes in the whole conurbation, let alone the BH9 district.
