Southill, Weymouth
Southill, Weymouth is a modern suburb of
Weymouth,
Dorset, and lies about 2 miles (3km) north of the town centre. It was developed on the western shore of
Radipole Lake in several phases from the 1960s onwards.
At its centre lies a
Post Office, confusingly and wrongly named South Hill Post Office, a small shopping centre, a Community Centre, a church and a pub, the John Gregory. A
primary school was built to serve the new estate in the 1970s.
Southill is part of the parish of
Radipole, the hill itself coming between Radipole and Weymouth.
