Moordown: Cowper Road

Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 12 Apr 2020

Looking along this typical Moordown side street from the main Wimborne Road. It is not, in fact, completely typical as it comes to a dead end for no really apparent reason: beyond the houses at the end, and unconnected by road or path, is Delhi Road which could quite easily have been a continuation of the same road. The sign is a standard Bournemouth 1980s one, mounted on a tall post with a sign facing each way, as with most of the turnings along the mile stretch of Wimborne Road through Moordown and Winton. Many of the signs themselves have been replaced even if the tall posts are still used, but a fair number still have the 1980s signage, as here. This is photo no.91 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.
