Broadstone

Broadstone is a town and suburb of Poole in Dorset, England. It's located roughly 3 miles (4.8 km) 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 established, and a railway line bypassed it in 1847. Its first 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, after a number of name revisions, became "Broadstone" in 1890. Broadstone First School was historically a Dame school, established in 1871. At the beginning of the twentieth century, lavender oil began being developed in the area. This stopped in 1935 when the factory burnt down, but a considerable amount of lavender can still be seen around the area. Considerable growth of the town has been undertaken, especially with the development of the Pine Springs housing estate and the opening of more schools to support the increase in population. Based on the 2011 Census, the town has a population of 10,303, which has grown slightly from the approximately 10,000 people measured in the 2001 Census. Centred on 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 notable for its significant recreation fields and heathland park, along with an annual Christmas parade and lights. The 24 acres of Broadstone Heath are some of the original heathland which covered the Poole Basin.
