East Howe: Dowlands Road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 11 Apr 2020
Dowlands Road is shaped like a squarish crescent, with two turnings off Howeth Road, but with an extra little spur off one corner, meeting Green Lane. This sign faces up the little spur and is set in front of two of the bungalows on the inside of the crescent. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side. It is quite wide with lettering well spaced, and with ROAD unabbreviated – I therefore wonder whether this sign has been recycled from a road with a longer name! This is photo no.113 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.
