Broadstone
Broadstone is a town and suburb of Poole in Dorset, England. It is located about 3 miles (4.8 km) from Hamworthy railway station and 7 miles (11 km) from Bournemouth International Airport. Since 1840, it has developed from a little farm to a suburb. In 1840, 'Broadstone Farm' was created, and a railway line bypassed it in 1847. Its 1st church was established 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 historically a Dame school, founded in 1871. At the beginning of the twentieth century, lavender oil started being made in the town. This came to a stop in 1935 when the factory burnt down, but much lavender can nevertheless be discovered inside the area. Considerable growth of the town has occurred, particularly with the development of the Pine Springs housing estate as well as the building of extra schools to cope with the growth in population. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a population of approximately 10,300, which has risen slightly from the about 10,256 residents recorded in 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 retailers, and also cafes and restaurants. Broadstone is notable for its big recreation fields and heathland park, along with an annual Christmas parade and lights. The 24 acres Broadstone Heath possesses are some of the original heathland which covered the Poole Basin.
