Looking down this row of detached houses from the top end of Ashridge Avenue, the pavement separated from the road by a hedge, interrupted at each driveway. The sign is of a design that became prevalent in Bournemouth around 1990 and was in use for most of that decade. Many are starting to look a bit shabby now, such as this one with peeling white section, while the original blue border has completely gone (see Image for a better example – also, the name might look better more broadly spaces on two lines like at Aberdare Road, or on the narrower version of the same sign such as at Image]). This is photo no.18 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.
