Ensbury Park: Ensbury Close
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 13 Apr 2020
A 1980s (or maybe late 70s, when Ensbury Avenue was extended from about here into the new council estate) cul-de-sac off Ensbury Avenue. One of the addresses, perhaps the one pictured as it is a house rather than a bungalow, was the caretaker's house of the almost adjacent Glenmoor girls' secondary school. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side. For cul-de-sacs, it is common for these to incorporate the no-through road sign, as here. This is photo no.134 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.
