Lewis Gardens, BOURNEMOUTH, BH10 5ER

An infill development of bungalows, something that has happened a lot in Ensbury Park over the last 20 years, off Howeth Road. It is not on the 2007 edition of the local A-Z street plan but appears in 2009. 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. This is photo no.241 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 cul-de-sac off Stanton Road, itself a no-through road, containing these typical 1970s houses, semi-detached on the left and detached on the right and at the end. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side. The arrangement here, with a full-size no-through-road sign on a short pole, with the nameplate overarching it, was quite common at the time in Bournemouth and a few like this survive, but I'm not sure that I've ever seen it elsewhere.

Situated on the staggered crossroads of Howeth and Kingswell Roads.

A short path - literally only a couple of yards in length, arrives here on Learning Lane from the dead-end of Stanton Road. See Image] for more information on Learning Lane.

This public footpath, numbered U39, leads from Heather Road to Hadow Road via the dead end of Green Lane. Here, we see it at its eastern end. In recent years, it has been marked as a shared foot/cycle route. Many of the footpaths on the West Howe estate and thereabouts have been given names in the last couple of years, a safety initiative whose intention is that, in the event of calling for help, one's location can be more easily described. This one has been named Learning Lane, no doubt because it leads to Hadow Road, where the area's primary and secondary schools are located. See Image for the next view along the path.
