Boscombe: Centenary Way
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 12 Jul 2008
This road was put in when the main Christchurch Road in central Boscombe was pedestrianised, and the Sovereign shopping centre built, in 1990. It is named after the fact that that year marked the 100th anniversary of Bournemouth becoming a town. Here, we are looking from the top level of the Sovereign Centre car park. On the right, we see a wall shielding the heavy traffic from Gladstone Road West, whose southern properties were sacrificed for this new-look Boscombe centre.
