Broadstone
Broadstone is a town and suburb of Poole in Dorset, England. It is 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) from Hamworthy railway station and 7 miles (11 kilometres) from Bournemouth International Airport. Since 1840, it has grown 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 opened in 1853, which later became the Scout hall. The first railway station was built in 1872 and named 'New Poole Junction' and, following a number of name revisions, became "Broadstone" in 1890. Broadstone First School was originally a Dame school, founded in 1871. At the beginning of the twentieth century, lavender oil started being developed in the town. This stopped in 1935 when the factory was destroyed in a fire, but much lavender can still be discovered inside the area. Considerable growth of the town has since occurred, especially with the development of the Pine Springs housing estate and also the opening of additional schools to service the rise in population. In line with the 2011 Census, the town features a resident population of 10,303, which has risen slightly from the roughly 10,256 inhabitants recorded in the 2001 Census. Centred on the main road (the B3074), 'The Broadway' is a bustling hub of shops, churches, schools and housing. The shops consist of both local and national chain retailers, together with cafes and restaurants. Broadstone is notable for its large recreation fields and heathland park, as well as a yearly Christmas parade and lights. The 24 acres Broadstone Heath possesses are some of the traditional heathland which covered the Poole Basin.
