Bournemouth: first stretch of Wimborne Road

Wimborne Road is easily Bournemouth's longest road, running for over four miles in the direction of Wimborne Minster, culminating in the town's highest house numbers - 1716 even and 1823 odd - at Bear Cross in Image (see Image). (However, a couple of hundred numbers are missed out on both sides at the southern end of Winton.) Here, we look along the stretch from its start at the top of Richmond Hill in the town centre. The bright sun is reflecting off surface water in the gutter after a night and morning of heavy rain. Braidley Road is off to the right.
