Broadstone
Broadstone is a town and suburb of Poole in Dorset, England. It's located roughly 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) from Hamworthy railway station and 7 miles (11 km) from Bournemouth International Airport. Since 1840, it has grown from a modest farm to a suburb. In 1840, 'Broadstone Farm' was created, and a railway line bypassed it in 1847. Its first church was established in 1853, which later became the Scout hall. The first railway station was constructed in 1872 and named 'New Poole Junction' and, after many name revisions, became "Broadstone" in 1890. Broadstone First School was historically a Dame school, founded in 1871. At the turn of the century, lavender oil began being developed in Broadstone. This stopped in 1935 when the factory was destroyed in a fire, but a great deal of lavender can still be seen within the area. Considerable growth of the town has since occurred, particularly with the construction of the Pine Springs housing estate as well as the opening of additional schools to support the increase in population. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a population of around 10,300, which has grown slightly from the approximately 10,000 people recorded during the 2001 Census. Centred around 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 shops, and also cafes and restaurants. Broadstone is notable for its large recreation fields and heathland park, plus an annual Christmas parade and lights. The 24 acres that Broadstone Heath possesses are some of the original heathland which covered the Poole Basin.
