Broadstone is a town and suburb of Poole in Dorset, England. It’s roughly 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) from Hamworthy railway station and 7 miles (11 kilometres) from Bournemouth International Airport. Since 1840, it has grown 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, after numerous name revisions, became “Broadstone” in 1890. Broadstone First School was originally a Dame school, founded in 1871. At the beginning of the twentieth century, lavender oil began being created in Broadstone. This came to a stop in 1935 when the factory burnt down, but a large amount of lavender can nevertheless be found 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 building of additional schools to cope with the growth in population. As recorded in the 2011 Census, the town features a permanent resident population of about 10,303, which has increased slightly from the around 10,256 residents recorded during the 2001 Census. Centred around the main road (the B3074), ‘The Broadway’ is a busy hub of shops, churches, schools and housing. The shops consist of both local and national chain stores, together with cafes and restaurants. Broadstone is well known for its big recreation fields and heathland park, plus a yearly Christmas parade and lights. The 24 acres of Broadstone Heath are some of the original heathland which covered the Poole Basin.
