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

A street of detached houses off Coombe Avenue - quite a long one considering that it's a dead end - with a double bend halfway along. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms. It is unusually long and low; the words are more usually written on two lines. This is photo no.83 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.

Coombe Avenue forms, with Leybourne Avenue, a busy main route through Northbourne. Desirable detached housing is the order of the day hereabouts, although the block of flats on the corner, just to our right, is modern and replaced an old bungalow. The sign is a modern one, from 2010-15 when this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms as the working logo of the council.

A modern infill cul-de-sac built in the last five years or so, this photo of the road sign does not provide any meaningful view of the housing along the road. It comes off Beswick Avenue in its northernmost, dead-end section. The sign, in the font Arial Bold, is not of any standard council design so I presume was put up by the developer rather than the local authority.

A small, modern development of housing in what I guess was previously the back gardens of the neighbouring houses. Viewed from the top deck of a passing bus.

Redhill Drive beside Redhill Park. Coombe Avenue road junction can be seen on the left too.

By the looks of the speed signs, the people who designed them hope drivers will go at a snail's pace.

Advance warning signs along the Olympic torch relay route advise motorists to expcect delays as the procession passes through - hereabouts, it was coming through on the Friday evening rush hour. In the event, the delays were very minor indeed, the roads only being closed literally minutes before the relay came along, and reopened immediately behind it.
