Broadstone
Broadstone is a town and suburb of Poole in Dorset, England. It is about 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 little farm to a suburb. In 1840, 'Broadstone Farm' was established, 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, following many name revisions, became "Broadstone" in 1890. Broadstone First School was traditionally a Dame school, founded in 1871. At the beginning of the twentieth century, lavender oil began being developed in Broadstone. This stopped in 1935 when the factory was destroyed in a fire, but a lot of lavender can nevertheless be found within the area. Much growth of the town has since been undertaken, especially with the construction of the Pine Springs housing estate and the opening of extra schools to cope with the rise in population. As recorded in the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 10,303, which has grown slightly from the approximately 10,000 residents measured during the 2001 Census. Centred on the main road (the B3074), 'The Broadway' is a thriving hub of shops, churches, schools and housing. The shops include both local and national chain shops, as well as cafes and restaurants. Broadstone is well known for its large recreation fields and heathland park, along with an annual Christmas parade and lights. The 24 acres Broadstone Heath possesses are some of the traditional heathland which covered the Poole Basin.
