Dist:0.2km<br/>A junction of minor roads in the hamlet of Chalbury. I am not sure why it is called Hell Corner. The finger-post has a roundel on the top with a grid reference.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The roundel detail on the finger-post. There is a farm named Horse Shoes nearby so perhaps the junction takes its name from it.

Dist:0.2km<br/>At the junction of minor roads is a finger-post, typical of the old Dorset County Council signs with a roundel with grid reference. For a close up of the roundel [[1935003]]

Dist:0.2km<br/>At the junction of the road to Wimborne, and a minor road to B3078; a traditional Dorset gridded fingerpost, with six figure grid reference (026067), and location given as "Chalbury Hell Corner". Superficially, at least, there seems to be nothing infernal about the location.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This traditional finger-post has still got its original Dorset finial, giving the location across the centre ('Horseshoes', apparently, is the name of the junction) and the six-figure grid reference below it. For a close-up of the finial, see [[1741171]].

Dist:0.3km<br/>In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The noticeboard of Knowlton parish council, a fairly recent amalgamation of a couple of village parishes, accompanies a postbox and telephone box on the corner of Tower Close, named for its proximity to Horton Tower but not providing access to it.
