Looking up this reasonably busy road - a major 'minor road' if you like - which runs through the large Northbourne suburb characterised by desirable bungalows. We can see ahead that it swings round to the left and up quite a steep hill on its way to Leybourne Avenue. The sign is a very modern one: it is only in the last couple of years that the council did away with the words BOURNEMOUTH BOROUGH COUNCIL across the top of the sign in smaller type - perhaps because of the impending disbandment of the council in April 2019 under local government reorganisation. This is photo no.50 of a series of 453 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.
