West Parley: Christchurch Road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 15 Apr 2020
Looking west from Parley Cross along this normally busy road, with a common name in this neck of the woods because, of course, Christchurch is a nearby town and several roads lead there. It is only a small segment of Christchurch Road which is within the 2km radius of my project, but we are outside the circle here as this is the nearest sign. It is a modern East Dorset District Council sign featuring its logo at the left-hand end, which will become rarer as the years go by because in April 2019 East Dorset District Council was abolished and became part of the unitary Dorset Council. This is photo no.71 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.
