I was born and bred in Bournemouth and now live on the edge of old Talbot Village near the University. Old Talbot Village was a utopian experiment by the Talbot Sisters a hundred years ago for the benefit of local residents, a church and school - St Marks, a row of almshouses and a number of pretty little cottages, each in enough land to be semi self-sufficient. All within a pleasant green lung of woods and fields.

Badgers?
Many of the locals are convinced that badgers live in Talbot Woods. I must admit to being a little sceptical until I saw a badger by the side of the road near the 1st bridge on Boundary Road from the roundabout. Unfortunately, like most badgers we see near a road - it was rather dead.
However, the sett remains hidden. Should it be found in the horse paddock adjacent to Boundary Roundabout there are implications for the 3 houses that the Trust intends to build on the site.
