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.

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.

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.

Snowy rooftops along Sturminster Road
Several inches of the white stuff came down to the delight of some, the horror of others.

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.

2009 : Unnamed park between Whitchurch and Stockwood
A strip of undeveloped land between the two suburbs has been left as a parkland amenity.
The brick tower at the top of a hill on the left, in Totterdown, is a cleverly disguised water tower. Who says local planners have no soul?
The thing on the right horizon that looks like a pencil is the Post Office Tower on Purdown, or Pur Down. (as a child I thought it had something to do with cats.)

A very short bridge
The stream, a tributary of the Brislington Brook, passes under a small stone footbridge - which is barely a few stones in width these days. See
