IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
DORCHESTER, DT1 2AS

This small terrace of victorian houses face north on the southern edge of the square and sits right next to the railway line just to the east of Dorchester South station. The railway is behind the hedge on the right. There is road access only to the far end of the terrace

Dorchester South, on the London Waterloo–Weymouth main line, is managed by South West Trains, who operate all passenger trains on this route. Trains are powered by electricity supplied by a third rail alongside each track.

Locomotive 30777 described as the Cathedral Express passes through Dorchester. this was taken just east of Dorchester south station with the Brewery Square development visible prominently on the right.

View west from the northern end of the Culliford Rd railway bridge. The new development site at the old Eldridge Pope brewery has extremely limited access being hemmed in by the railway, Maumbury Rings and houses. There are two small access points at the eastern end of the site and these are currently being enlarged and developed. This road runs along the railway which can be seen on the left and a new road ramp will be built up to the point where Prince of Wales Rd intersects with Culliford Rd. This will result in a large increase of traffic at this junction and turn it into a five way junction instead of a four way. The old gravel track ramp that the road is replacing can still be seen on the right of the image. ( Additional information, 2015) :-The cleared area in the foreground of the image is where the apartment block known as Bridge House and also the attached Signal House now stand.

Covered with snow and still never used by traffic this is the eastern approach road to the development which has still not been properly started. This road, which runs just north of the railtracks west of Dorchester South station, connects the sprawling site with the junction of Prince of Wales Rd and Culliford Rd.

View west along the track towards Dorchester South Station from the west side of the bridge where Culliford Rd crosses the tracks.

These houses are close to the eastern end and on the northern side of Monmouth Road near the junction with Culliford Road.

This photo shows the construction starting on a block of affordable housing. It is at the very eastern end of the "Brewery Square" development site closet to Dorchester South Station. However it has been squeezed onto a tiny patch of land between the railway lines and the eastern access road to the main site, which is not the nicest of locations. In the similar fashion to council houses of the 20th C the not so well off people are pushed to the margins. This only shows the base of the building. When it is finished it will be five storeys high and will dominate the immediate area that has no tall buildings.
