Northbourne: Austen Avenue

Looking along this very short road, not an avenue in the usual sense of being tree lined, which leads only to Cedar Avenue which has a dead end at both ends. This, its only sign, is of a design that became prevalent in Bournemouth around 1990 and was in use for most of that decade. Supplementary information, such as house numbers or 'leading to' as seen here, are shown in the different font from the road name. Many of these are starting to look a bit shabby now and while the white has deteriorated here, the blue is still ok. This is photo no.21 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.
