Fine detached houses are the order of the day in this eastern part of Northbourne, with bungalows being more prevalent further northwest. The reason for the second pavement leaving the left-hand edge of the photo is that the Hill View shops are just here: the foreground pavement follows the road to the left, while the farther pavement is that of the service road and the shopfronts themselves. The road sign dates from 2017/2018: until then, the signage included the words BOURNEMOUTH BOROUGH COUNCIL in smaller type at the top. (Bournemouth Council ceased to exist in April 2019 but the removal of the council name happened before that). This is photo no.55 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.
