IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Coombe Gardens, BOURNEMOUTH, BH10 5AG

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.

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. This is photo no.38 of a series of 451 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.

Dusk is virtually here on this drab February evening as we look along this small cut-through to the dead end of Beswick Avenue, which does a right-angled turn to almost meet us here on Draycott Road. See Image for the view along the path from the other end.

A short public footpath at the dead end of Beswick Avenue, leading between two houses to Draycott Road. The number 14 on the gatepost on the left has DRAYCOTT ROAD below it - it is of course a rear driveway for the house which is not in Beswick Avenue. See Image for the view along the path from the other end.

The smallest of Bournemouth's twelve libraries, by some margin!

A public footpath.

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.
