Branksome is a small area of the coastal town of Poole, England. It consists mainly of a small, residential area (average date of construction for houses is sometime the 1920's), a railway station (creatively called Branksome Railway Station), and a small commercial area, consisting mostly of furniture and DIY shops. It borders Parkstone, another small Poole district, to the west and north, Branksome Park (The wealthier forested version) to the South and Westbourne (A district of Bournemouth, Poole's conurbation neighbour) to the East. Poole is a coastal town, port and tourist destination in the traditional county of Dorset in southern England. ... Bournemouth is a seaside resort on the south coast of England. ...
Branksome has one side called the Park and the other literally on the other side of the tracks, an area mainly of terraced residences built around the Gas Works.
Branksome Park is the area which stretched through the lovely woodland to the Chines, now developed for the pleasure of visitors at Branksome and Branksome Dene.
The drive to the house is now the Branksome Avenue, and until recent years the Lodge at the Westbourne entrance to the Park was used as an Estate Agents office, but a new gyratory traffic scheme and the erection of large office blocks completely changed the area.
