IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Haverstock Road, BOURNEMOUTH, BH9 3HE

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 had driven over it. Contrasting with the snow are recently-fallen autumn leaves.

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.
