Dist:0.3km<br/>At the junction of Blandford Road and Lake Road; from its name, the post office sounds to have been re-located.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking squarely into the sun across the corner of Blandford and Lake Roads, we see this post office, named to distinguish it from the former Hamworthy Post Office further southeast, which has served the area since early 1926. Hamworthy Junction is the former name of Hamworthy railway station, a little northwest, when the branch line down the Hamworthy peninsula was operational.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This large postbox stands outside [[1582003]] and dates from the more recent end of the Elizabeth II reign – we can tell because the words 'Royal Mail' replaced 'Post Office' on boxes after around 1990. It is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 12:30pm on Saturdays.

Dist:0.5km<br/>These old cottages are on Lake Rd close to the junction with Hoyal Rd. The trees on the right of the image are some of those surrounding the Crown Closures site which is probably going to be redeveloped for residential use.
