IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Coombe Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, BH10 5AB

Looking south from under a bus shelter in Leybourne Avenue, across the junction where it becomes Coombe Avenue as Hill View Road crosses in both directions. The bus shelter has a display giving the date (29 February) and current time, and details of the next due arrivals. I don't know why the first one is apparently due in 11 minutes but the second one in only six. The date/time display intermittently changes to show the third expected arrival.

On Hill View Road. The original school buildings are at the front, and newer ones at the back (seen to the left). http://www.hillview.bournemouth.sch.uk/introduction/the_school.htm

This church is right in the southwest corner of the square – so much so that the intersection of the four squares coincides with the road junction whose corner the church stands.

A short dead-end road off Redhill Drive, facing onto Redhill Park which is behind us, across the road. Beyond the back gardens of the houses each side, we can glimpse the desirable detached housing of Delamere Gardens, typical of the area. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms. The incorporated no-through-road sign is a common arrangement, and for good measure the message is reinforced with the word CUL-DE-SAC in small type at the bottom. This is photo no.106 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.

This George V-reign postbox faces the entrance to Image on the corner of Hill View Road and Leybourne Avenue. Behind it is a doorless phone box, facing the other way.

Situated on Western Avenue, opposite the Doveshill Crescent turning.

A similar view to Image, looking a few degrees farther round towards the north and showing the hall attached to the northern end of the church. The foliage in front of the church has very recently had a severe pruning!

A parade of shops in Hill View Road, including post office, bakery, grocery and hairdresser.

This post office is in Image, in Hill View Road by the corner with Leybourne Avenue – and yet it is called Redhill Drive. That is because it moved here in the late 1990s from the eastern end of Hill View Road, indeed on the corner of Redhill Drive.
