View almost directly down, facing towards Lower Pleasure Gardens. Still didn't get permission to play adventurer and get out for a better shot.

View almost directly down, facing towards Town Centre. Chap wouldn't let me climb out to get a better shot.

Huzzah a fortunate accident in this photograph. In the foreground (going from bottom to top in a nearly straight line) one can see: * St Peter's Church * an currently unidentified cylindrical building (NOT the Roundhouse - that's seen at the top right corner of the photo but is hard to identify) * a largish tuft of flats/houses and office buildings partially obscuring the ASDA and Rail Station The M35 can be seen peeking its way through the trees near the top left corner of the photo

Looking out from the third floor of the Town Hall Extension, across Braidley Road towards the [[644352]]. St. Stephen's Road is seen in the foreground, passing over Braidley Road which runs at right angles below.

Looking from the path alongside the Town Hall, at the bridge where St. Stephen’s Road passes over Braidley Road, with [[644352]] beyond.

The day after Bournemouth's heaviest snow for 17 years fell overnight, and we have a rare view of snow covering St. Stephen's church and, particularly, the tree alongside.

Looking north from the bridge which carries St. Stephen's Road over Braidley Road, after Bournemouth's heaviest snowfall for 17 years came down the night before last. The trees stand in the grounds of St. Stephen's parish church.

Looking across the Wessex Way, town centre by-pass, from the end of Bodorgan Road, with the [[644352]] in the distance.

Looking out from the fourth floor of the Town Hall, we see St. Stephen's Road as it crosses Braidley Road, along with the fine tower of St. Stephen's church. Bournemouth's heaviest snow for 17 years fell overnight. Only now, late afternoon, has the sun weakly come out, just enough to bring the sandstone colour out of the tower.

Looking north from under the bridge carrying St. Stephen's Road over Braidley Road, a similar view to [[1611513]] but in very wet weather. Many puddles adorn the gutters on both sides, the one in the centre of the picture being among the largest.

A fortnight later than much of the country, and a day after the rest of it, Bournemouth finally had its own proper snow today. You have to understand the term 'proper' in local terms – this is not the several inches which brought much of southern England grinding to a standstill yesterday, forcing hundreds to spend their nights in their cars on impassable roads; we are talking about enough that there will still be a visible reminder a couple of hours after it stopped – that's how much Bournemouth needs to call its snow 'proper'. Indeed, it started snowing around 10 o'clock this morning, and this is a similar view to [[1038893]] at half past eleven. The white road and pavement surfaces would already be slushy by 1 o'clock after a lunchtime's footfall, and it stopped just after 5pm.
