Cherries Drive is the southbound side of the Ensbury Park gyratory, and was put in in the mid 1980s when this became the A347, diverted from the main Wimborne Road through Moordown and Winton. The other three sides of the gyratory are formed from pre-existing roads. It is named, almost certainly, after the local football club, AFC Bournemouth, who are nicknamed the Cherries. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side. This is photo no.70 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.
