West Howe: Montgomery Avenue
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 12 Apr 2020
One of the main thoroughfares within the large 1950s West Howe council estate, linking its heart, Cunningham Crescent, with its eastern edge, here on the main Kinson Road. There are a few blocks of council flats here at this end – and at the other – while in between is half a mile or so of standard, very recognisable semi-detached council houses. The sign is an early version of a standard Bournemouth design from around 2000, the early version recognisable by a slightly more emboldened typeface, the wording initially aligned to the left but the centralised layout was used by the time of this one. This is photo no.276 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.
