A small cul-de-sac of reasonably modern (1970s?) houses swinging around the corner behind the backs of houses on the main Wimborne Road. The sign is a modern one - it is only in the last couple of years that Bournemouth Borough Council stopped including its name in smaller type at the top of the sign, perhaps in readiness for local government reorganisation in April 2019 which saw the borough council replaced by BCP (Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole) council. The no-through-road sign incorporated within the nameplate is a fairly common arrangement, and the previous sign clearly didn't have one because the original accompanying sign remains alongside. This is photo no.278 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.
