Bear Cross: Anchor Road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 16 Apr 2020
A street mainly consisting of well-to-do bungalows, this stretch of Anchor Road also includes a parade of shops (Image) of a design similar to those found in 1950s council estates. I note the bus stop markings; I didn't know that the bus routes came off the main roads here. The sign is a modern one, from around 2010 when the borough introduced this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms. This is photo no.9 of a series of 451 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project: See https://www.geograph.org.uk/article/My-2020-Coronavirus-Lockdown-walking-project for the complete set of photos.
