West Howe: Elmhurst Road

Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 16 Apr 2020

Looking along this short road on the northern fringe of the large 1950s West Howe housing estate. The houses are typical council semis and in recent years energy has been garnered from the installation of photovoltaic cells on their roofs. The sign is of a design that became prevalent in Bournemouth around 1990 and was in use for most of that decade. Many are starting to look a bit shabby now, and the blue border is faded on this one. This is photo no.129 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.
