East Howe: Howeth Road

Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 16 Apr 2020

Howeth Road is quite a long, and major, side-road of the East Howe / Ensbury Park area and, I think, may be one of the traditional track route from before the area was built over. The reason I say this is the generally meandering course that it takes, and the fact that as it approaches East Howe Lane, ahead, it turns into a curious dual carriageway with mature trees lining the middle. This surely suggests a field boundary of some sort? The housing is mainly good detached houses, mixed with a few bungalows such as those on the left-hand side ahead. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, this one affixed high on a lamppost rather than the more usual position just above ground level.
