A small cul-de-sac of bungalows off New Road, at the southern end of its long, parallel service road which heads down from Parley Cross shops. The sign is a nice survival: it would have been erected by the Wimborne & Cranborne Rural District Council in the 1960s or very early 70s, and would probably have been mounted on their trademark pyramid-topped posts (see for example Image). The sign has been retained and remounted on modern posts. This is photo no.119 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.
