This aerial view of Chandler's Ford in 1950 was taken before the concentrated development of the area that took place following the Second World War and looks towards the North. In the centre of the photograph are the row of shops that is 'The Parade', slightly above and to the right is the old post office building and to the left of that you can make out the railway station. The main Bournemouth Rd is running from the bottom of the photograph up to the right with Chalvington Rd joining it from the bottom right corner.
