One of three dead ends that head north from Kinson Park Road, at the very northern extreme of Bournemouth suburbs. The other two, Castleton and North Avenues, end abruptly with a hedge, as if they might have been planned to continue one day – but Markham Avenue ends more deliberately with a turning circle and its bungalows surrounding it. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side. It is surprising that a no-through-road sign is not either incorporated into the sign or standing alongside it, both of which are common arrangements. This is photo no.261 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.
