Christchurch trolleybus turntable, Transportation structure in Christchurch, United Kingdom.
The circular turntable mechanism on Church Street allows trolleybuses to change direction through a manual rotation system with overhead electrical connections.
Built in 1936, this Grade II listed structure operated as part of the Bournemouth trolleybus system until its closure in April 1969.
The turntable represents early 20th-century British public transportation engineering and remains an educational resource for studying urban development patterns.
Located at the intersection of Church Street, the turntable structure maintains its original mechanical components and demonstrates the technical solutions of pre-war transportation.
This turntable stands as one of only five ever constructed worldwide for trolleybuses and remains the sole surviving example in England.
