West Howe: Gort Road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 12 Apr 2020
A short, squiggly road in the heart of the large 1950s West Howe council estate – it comes off the centrepiece, Cunningham Crescent, although we are looking at it from the other end, on Mount Road. 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, the blue border fading and the white surface unpeeling, but this one is in pretty good condition. This is photo no.169 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.
