Kinson: Howton Road

Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 10 Apr 2020

A short dead-end road off Kitscroft Road, almost at the dead end of the latter. On a map, the road layout of these few roads looks as if more was planned but never built. The bungalows on the right back onto a portion of Kinson Common, still open public land. The sign is a modern one, from 2010-15 when this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms as the working logo of the council. It is quite surprising that there is even a sign on this side of the junction, since it is only visible to those approaching from the dead end of Kitscroft Road. The more useful one on the other side, visible to the motorist arriving here from the whole of the rest of the world, adds 'leading to Howton Close'. This is photo no.209 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.
