West Howe: Mount Road

When the large 1950s West Howe council estate was built, Mount Road utilised an original farm track or lane: overlaying older with present-day maps, the course is very obvious. The sign is an early version of a standard Bournemouth design from around 2000, the early version recognisable by a slightly more emboldened typeface, aligned to the left when on two lines or, never on the newer versions, written on a single line as here. This is photo no.286 of a series of 453 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project: See Link for the complete set of photos.
