Moordown: Maclaren Road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 17 Apr 2020
One of the criss-cross roads on this western side of the main Wimborne Road in Moordown. Wimborne Road, The Avenue and The Grove are the long north-south roads and Maclaren is one of the shorter east-west roads linking them - one of several that include both segments. Desirable detached houses are the order of the day. 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. Usually mounted on two short posts, this is a double-sided version mounted on a high pole, common throughout this long straight stretch of Wimborne Road. This is photo no.253 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.
