A strange little road, looking more like a driveway and only a through route for pedestrians. It takes the route of an original track before the West Howe council estate was built in the 1950s, extending behind us up what are now Moorside Close and Mount Road, to Poole Lane. There is more discussion on this at Image and other photos along the route, linked from that one. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms. They are more often seen under perspex and mounted on two posts, but this one is just affixed to a lamppost. This is photo no.137 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.
