Redhill: black and white kerb in Wimborne Road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 26 Jul 2013
This section of Wimborne Road was formerly the main route north out of Bournemouth, until the Whitelegg Way, seen crossing in the distance, was built in the late 1980s. Since the arrival of the Whitelegg Way, this stretch of road survives only as a bus route and as access to the side-roads. The alternating black and white painted kerbstones, which would have been important markers for this sharp bend when the road carried more traffic, are deteriorating but still discernible 25 years after they last served any useful purpose.
