Dist:0.2km<br/>View East from the road descending from Knoll Farm. In the distance are the NE outskirts of Corfe Mullen. I believe it is there that the council are planning another 700 houses.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This postbox serves a more scattered, rural-ish area of Corfe Mullen, contrasting with the modern majority of the place which renders it apparently the largest village in England. The box is emptied at 4pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays. Also in the picture is a footpath to Central Avenue.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A rather pleasant looking brick-built chapel of rest in Corfe Mullen cemetery.

Dist:0.3km<br/>"The Chapel in the Valley", on Newport Lane; according to a plaque, the original building (to the right) was built in 1813, and rebuilt in 1879. http://www.cm-baptist.org.uk/index.php?page=About_Us

Dist:0.4km<br/>On Blandford Road, at the junction with Wimborne Road, bearing the legend "POOLE / 5" and a benchmark; probably C19, erected by the Poole Turnpike Trust.

Dist:0.4km<br/>At the corner of Blandford and Wimborne Roads. The front building bears a date stone from 1897, and the side from 1860; there are modern buildings and playing fields behind. http://www.lockyersmid.dorset.sch.uk/welcome.asp

Dist:0.4km<br/>The postbox outside [[513814]]. The little yellow patch on the collection-times plate denotes at-a-glance that there is a collection on Sundays, and therefore tells you that it is outside a post office, or a recently closed one.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Corfe Mullen actually has two post offices – Hill View, a mile or so to the south, and this one which is actually called Corfe Mullen.

Dist:0.4km<br/>At first, the cap is egg-shaped and whitish with shaggy fibres. It expands with age and together with gills,blackens and liquefies. Yuk!
