At the eastern end of Kinson's main shops is Kitscroft Road, a short cul-de-sac which leads to several other roads, all of whose only access is via here. From satellite images, the little development looks almost unfinished, with a number of rather abrupt dead ends that look as if there was once an intention that development go further. At the end of Kitscroft Road, there is access onto Duke's Coppice and that small detached part of Kinson Common, which remains public open space. 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. The no-through-road sign incorporated into the nameplate is a common arrangement. This is photo no.233 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.
