Moordown: Bentley Road

Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 17 Apr 2020

This short road of well-to-do detached houses is one of numerous in a criss-cross pattern, at right angles to Wimborne Road, The Avenue and The Grove. It is one of the shorter ones, with only one segment – terminating on The Avenue rather than crossing it. 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, but this one is in good condition without any peeling white or fading blue. This is photo no.35 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.
