Moordown: Elmes Road

Looking along this long road of typical-for-Moordown early-20th-century detached houses, from its one junction, midway along, with Comley Road. Elmes Road does a slight kink at this junction, but not in the direction indicated by the curve of the pavement: immediately next to us, it swings back the other way and carries on a few degrees the other side of straight. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms. It is one of the earliest of these examples, with slightly broader typeface and with the name on a single line. This is photo no.128 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.
