Dist:0.2km<br/>This postbox serves a large-ish estate of bungalows � as is so often the case, few with even the smallest boundary wall or hedge � on the corner of Minster View. I didn't venture up there but there may well be a view towards the two towers of the minster.

The box is emptied finally at 5pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Slightly swollen Allen, after recent rain. The Allen is a chalk stream tributary of the Stour, into which it flows just over 1km to the South. The river flows for about 20km, with its source near Wimborne St. Giles [[1439767]], to the North. As seen looking upstream.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This large Victorian or perhaps Edwardian house on a very prominent site at the corner of Milton Rd and Tennyson Rd in Wimborne was being demolished. It will be replaced with a block of flats and two houses on the same site. Rather a shame, as the whole of the rest of the street consists of beautiful large Victorian houses. I rescued some beautiful coloured glass windows from here a few minutes earlier.
