The position of the nameplate, halfway along the triangular widening of the pavement at the junction, allows us only a glimpse of one of the bungalows in this short cul-de-sac. It is a typically desirable dwelling of this whole Northbourne area. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side. It was a common arrangement at the time the sign was installed, to have alongside a full-size no-through-road sign on a very short post. This is photo no.187 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.
