Dorset / Re: Old house next to Natwest, Parkstone Poole

I looked on the website, didn't see anything either. I've looked online for newspaper records for any mention of the surgery to see if there is an article with a picture, but to no avail. Looking forward to going to the history centre, they must have newspaper records there as well as the library.

I was going to try the history centre, I've always wanted to have a look at what they've got there, but never really had a specific reason to until now. Although I don't live in Poole full time now, I'll have to pop in there when I'm next home. If I do manage to find anything, I'll post it on here.

Hi Janet, thanks for your reply, it's good to hear that you remember the building. I'd love to see a picture, I've scanned through all of the books I have of the local area (a bit of an interest of mine) and also looked on the Internet of eastbound views of Ashley road. The closest picture I've got is of the old Dorset bank on the corner of Albert and Ashley roads, unfortunately I can't find any from the other side of the street. I'll keep looking though, I'm determined to find one!

Wow that's great, I'll get down to the library and have a look. It's becoming even more intriguing now!

That would make a lot of sense seeing that the current surgery is probably in the old buildings' grounds. Thank you for all your help, hopefully more people will remember it now :-)

Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm afraid this isn't a genealogy question but I'm very intrigued about a particular building that was on Ashley road in Parkstone.

I grew up in Parkstone just off Albert road, I'm 25 now but I can remember a big old house opposite Lloyds bank, next door to Natwest on the site that is now the Madeira medical centre pharmacy car park.  The building must have been demolished in the early /mid 90s. The house was derelict the whole time I can remember, but I just wondered if anyone knew what it used to be or why it fell into disrepair, perhaps there is a photo somewhere?

Thanks for taking the time to read my query.
