Looking across the village green at the heart of Kinson, long since a 'village' and very much a suburb of Bournemouth. Millhams Road was a through road coming out by Longham Bridge until roughly the late 1980s, when it was closed to traffic between the parish church and the council tip. That middle stretch is still usable by pedestrians and cyclists and forms part of the Millhams Mead Local Nature Reserve. The public toilet block is visible at the far end of the green. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms. This is photo no.274 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.
