Kinson: Keeble Road

Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 12 Apr 2020

Keeble Road always was a short cul-de-sac off Kinson Park Road, leading to a sports ground. In the later 1980s the sports ground was developed for housing and Keeble Road thus extended. Here, we are at the T-shaped end of the road, with odd numbers around the left arm and evens around the right. The sign 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 with the blue border fading and the white surface unpeeling, but this one is in pretty good nick if a little dirty. Extra messages, such as the odd/even message here, are always in that different typeface from the street name.
