Parkstone, No.12 Christchurch Road, stood east of the junction with Roupell Road.  Built on the area of parkland that lay between Palace Road and Christchurch Road, an early reference shows that it was occupied in 1880 by one Stanley Kemp Welch, a rice miller and starch manufacturer, and by Col. Arthur Rotton around 1888 to 1898.  Following various other occupants until the 1930s, the house was divided into flats before being demolished in 1948.  This view, labelled 'Stables at Parkstone', shows a separate building that lay south east of the main house, and may have originally been a barn.
