A cul-de-sac off Stanton Road, itself a no-through road, containing these typical 1970s houses, semi-detached on the left and detached on the right and at the end. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side. The arrangement here, with a full-size no-through-road sign on a short pole, with the nameplate overarching it, was quite common at the time in Bournemouth and a few like this survive, but I'm not sure that I've ever seen it elsewhere. This is photo no.172 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.
