IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Cartwright Close, BOURNEMOUTH, BH10 5HL

A late-1980s development of terraced social housing, occupying a rural plot which had a public footpath running through it. A public right of way has been maintained between here and Chaldecott Gardens, the road filling the development from the other side. See Image for more discussion on the right of way. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms. This is photo no.62 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.

Footpath E32 is a public right of way between Cartwright Close and Chaldecott Gardens. Here, we see its northern end as it arrives at the former. The two roads mentioned form a small housing estate built in the late 1980s, prior to which this was a rather rural looking path which has thus been shortened thanks to the two roads. Current 1:25,000 mapping still alludes to the original longer route of the footpath, appearing to go right through some of the houses. See Image for the view up the path from ahead, and Image for the next photo on the path behind us, with links to further photos on the route.

This public footpath heads from the bend in Cartwright Close to Chaldecott Gardens (and, indirectly, to Sunningdale Crescent). The first two roads mentioned form a small housing estate built in the late 1980s, prior to which this was a rather rural looking path which has thus been shortened thanks to the two roads. Current 1:25,000 mapping still alludes to the original longer route of the footpath, appearing to go right through some of the houses. See Image for the view onto the road from the path ahead, with links to further photos along the route.

Footpath E32 is a public right of way between Cartwright Close and Chaldecott Gardens. Here, we see it midway along its length. The two roads mentioned form a small housing estate built in the late 1980s, prior to which this was a rather rural looking path which has thus been shortened thanks to the two roads. Current 1:25,000 mapping still alludes to the original longer route of the footpath, appearing to go right through some of the houses. See Image for a picture of the end of the path ahead, and Image for the next segment behind us.

Heading from Chaldecott Gardens to Cartwright Close, this public footpath takes a slightly drunken course as it skirts between the various back gardens. The two roads mentioned form a small housing estate built in the late 1980s, prior to which this was a rather rural looking path which has thus been shortened thanks to the two roads. Current 1:25,000 mapping still alludes to the original longer route of the footpath, appearing to go right through some of the houses. See Image for the next view on the path ahead, and Image for the next view behind us - each with links to further photos along the mentioned routes.

This public footpath is a short one, branching off footpath E32 (at our feet) and heading the short distance to Sunningdale Crescent, which we see ahead. See Image for the view towards us from the road ahead, and Image for the view past this junction on footpath E32 (with links to further photos on that route).

Footpath E32 is a public right of way between Cartwright Close and Chaldecott Gardens. Here, we see it towards its southern end, just as another path joins it on the left (see Image). The two roads mentioned form a small housing estate built in the late 1980s, prior to which this was a rather rural looking path which has thus been shortened thanks to the two roads. Current 1:25,000 mapping still alludes to the original longer route of the footpath, appearing to go right through some of the houses. See Image for a picture of the end of the path, just around the corner ahead, and Image for the next segment behind us.

Looking along this modern offshoot of Brook Road, on whose main pavement we are standing. This side-road leads to a few houses but also forms the start of a public footpath, heading across the grassed area in the distance, towards Kinson. I am sure that before this small development was built, the rural feel of the path would have been maintained right up to here. See Image for the next view along the path.

This small path leads to another public footpath, E32, to provide a link with Chaldecott Gardens (leading to Brook Road) and Cartwright Close (leading to Kinson Road). See Image for the view towards us from the far end of the path, andImage for a picture of the latter path at the point that the two paths meet. The 2016 European Cup football event starts today, hence the England flag flying next door but one to the footpath.

Looking out onto the T-shaped dead end of Chaldecott Gardens, where this public footpath from Cartwright Close emerges. Immediately behind us, the path takes a right-angled turn to head to our right. The two roads mentioned form a small housing estate built in the late 1980s, prior to which this was a rather rural looking path which has thus been shortened thanks to the two roads. Current 1:25,000 mapping still alludes to the original longer route of the footpath, appearing to go right through some of the houses. See Image for the view towards us from opposite, and Image for the next view on the path behind us, with links to further photos along the route.
