East Howe: Heaton Road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 11 Apr 2020
A no-through road off Kinson Road. Almost immediately it does a sharp 90º bend to the left and then immediately to the right, before the majority of it is then straight but shunted north a little. It is hard to imagine why it was laid out like this, rather than just coming out a few yards further along and maintaining a straight course throughout. The sign is from around 2000, and it morphed into another design, in blue rather than green and far more widely seen, including BOURNEMOUTH BOROUGH COUNCIL in smaller letters at the top, and the borough coat of arms on the left. This is photo no.191 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.
