Northbourne: Hogue Avenue

Part of a small layout of roads resembling a fork, Hogue Avenue being the horizontal that holds the three tines of the fork: Ferncroft Road, Ashridge Avenue and Pinewood Avenue. Dudley Road finishes the cutlery analogy by providing the handle, slightly offset from centre. This sign faces down Ashridge Avenue and 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, and this one is a prime example of both afflictions: the blue border fading and the white surface unpeeling. This is photo no.201 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.
