Moordown: Ensbury Park Road

One of the major routes of Bournemouth's suburbs, this road leads to Ensbury Park, as its name suggests. We look through the railings at its junction with Wimborne Road towards the first few houses, which are typical of the area – early-20th-century detached houses whose front gardens have mainly been turned into parking spaces over the years. The sign is a modern one, from 2010-15 when this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms as the working logo of the council. They are more often seen under perspex and mounted on two posts, but this one is just affixed to the railings.
