Broadstone
Broadstone is a town and suburb of Poole in Dorset, England. It is positioned around 3 miles (4.8 km) from Hamworthy railway station and 7 miles (11 km) from Bournemouth International Airport. Since 1840, it has expanded from a small farm to a suburb. In 1840, 'Broadstone Farm' was created, and a railway line bypassed it in 1847. Its 1st church was constructed in 1853, which later became the Scout hall. The initial railway station was constructed in 1872 and named 'New Poole Junction' and, following several name revisions, became "Broadstone" in 1890. Broadstone First School was originally a Dame school, established in 1871. At the beginning of the twentieth century, lavender oil began being made in Broadstone. This came to a stop in 1935 when the factory burnt down, but much lavender can still be seen within the area. Considerable growth of the town has since occurred, particularly with the establishment of the Pine Springs housing estate along with the opening of additional schools to support the growth in population. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a population of approximately 10,303, which has grown slightly from the roughly 10,256 residents measured during the 2001 Census. Centred around the main road (the B3074), 'The Broadway' is a busy hub of shops, churches, schools and housing. The shops include both local and national chain shops, as well as cafes and restaurants. Broadstone is famous for its substantial recreation fields and heathland park, as well as a yearly Christmas parade and lights. The 24 acres Broadstone Heath possesses are some of the historic heathland which covered the Poole Basin.
