Cromwell Place is a little passageway running through from the main Seabourne Road to Stourvale Place, which is itself a gravel lane. There are 5 residential properties along the lane, arranged as a little offshoot path from it. Cromwell Place forms public footpath number G09. Here, we take a close look at the name sign at the Seabourne Road end - a traditional old cast iron sign of a type which survive in quite large numbers still. They generally have modern versions nearby, kept presumably as mere nods to vintage - but there are no modern ones just here. See Image for the view along the path from Seabourne Road, and Image for the view emerging onto Seabourne Road, with links to further photos along the route.
