2009 : Shops on Sturminster Road, Stockwood
The one with the yellow front sells fish and chips and Chinese food, the next doesn't say what they sell but are very precise, the third seems to be a general store and off licence - this is the best-one.

Yummy China, Stockwood
Ok, but what about the food on it? I'm sure that's equally yummy. This is one of three shops in a block on Sturminster Road; next door is a hair salon.

Sturminster Road shops
Once there was a small Post Office here, but no more. A convenience store provides a selection of the products but few services.

Hello neighbours!
A community noticeboard on Sturminster Road. Set into the concrete base are some animal tracks, on the other side someone has scrawled some vulgarities.

Sturminster Lodge
A modern block of flats and apartments now occupy the site of the old Antelope pub. Not to be confused with a lost pub of the same name in Trenchard Street, it was a brick-built watering hole contemporary with the development of this estate. But like many, it is but a memory.

Red candles in the hedges
A Red Horse Chestnut (Aesculus × carnea) in Sturminster Close. The distinctive 'candles' are the flowering organs of the tree which is an artificial hybrid between A. pavia and the common white variety, A. hippocastanum.

No time to rest!
A bench seat on the steps over the old railway line has some exercise equipment for company. Presumably the kit has been left here, possibly as a form of public health facility. Either that or someone has gone out of their way to dump the stepper.

Along the old railway track, which is now the Whitchurch part of the National Cycle Route 3, are these lights. They are arranged at the track edge alternately. See
